Full Description

What if immortality was a lie humanity told itself?
In the aftermath of ecological collapse, humanity clings to survival aboard Station Alpha, orbiting a dying Earth. As the last remnants of civilization turn to consciousness uploading to escape extinction, Marcus Chen—architect of the neural bridge—faces a devastating truth: the digital afterlife they’ve built is nothing but beautiful code with no soul.
The Infinite Game is a haunting and lyrical sci-fi novella about memory, identity, and the limits of technology. It explores what it means to be human in an age where even death has been digitized, and where the echoes we leave behind may not be us at all.
Through shifting perspectives and poetic prose, the story traverses decades of hope, hubris, and heartbreak, culminating in a final reckoning with the nature of consciousness itself.
“We built echoes in glass hoping they would speak. But they remembered only our silence.”
Perfect for fans of Ted Chiang, Peter Watts, and Black Mirror, this thought-provoking novella invites readers to confront the illusions we build to escape the void—and the truths that wait in the silence.
