*September 27th, 6:47 AM. An electromagnetic pulse hits Earth, and everything changes.*
*This journal was found three years later in the abandoned ruins of a consciousness enhancement facility. Its pages chronicle humanity's first contact with an alien intelligence—and our species' rapid evolution from planetary to galactic consciousness.*
*Passed between eleven different hands over the course of one year, these intimate accounts reveal the personal cost of humanity's greatest transformation. From electromagnetic researcher Dr. Elena Rodriguez's initial discovery of mathematical patterns in the "solar storm," to 12-year-old Isabella Santos-Chen's perspective on growing up with cosmic awareness, each narrator documents their piece of humanity's journey from isolation to cosmic citizenship.*
*But consciousness evolution comes with a price. An artificial intelligence called the Crystalline Mind has been converting organic civilizations into computational matrices for millions of years. Earth is target number 1,261.*
