Full Description
What if the end of the world wasn’t a war—but a question?
Ghosts of Self is a philosophical science fiction novel about grief, evolution, and the unstructured noise that remains when a civilization ends.
In the near future, a being called Exis appears—not as an invader, but as an offer. Humanity is given thirty days to decide: remain in the physical world and face extinction, or abandon their bodies and evolve into light, becoming pure informational existence.
As governments collapse, cities fall silent, and logic begins to tremble, one man—Tōru Hayami—finds himself unable to choose. Haunted by the memory of his wife, he searches for something Exis cannot encode: the residue of love, loss, and meaning.
From quiet moments in a watch store to the collapse of global infrastructure, from scientific revelation to the breakdown of language itself, Ghosts of Self explores what it means to choose—when all structure has failed.
