The Game
A Novel of Species, Sentience, and the Sentence Beneath Life
All life plays the game.
From the first cell to the last breath, every organism acts with the same hidden purpose: replicate the code. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen—lifeless elements, yet when bound into flesh, they hunger to pass on DNA. Why?
And who is watching?
In The Game, the rules are not what we’ve been taught. Extinction is not failure. Evolution is not random. Every species is a contender. Trees. Crows. Salmon. Insects. Humans.
A silent intelligence—older than time—has seeded Earth with competitors, each racing toward a final convergence: the moment the Sentence is complete. Some have already lost. Others don’t yet know they’re playing.
