Full Description
In the high-stakes world of deep-sea research, independent innovation is a career death sentence. Major grants go to safe projects. Risk is regulated. And anything that challenges consensus is dismissed before it’s even tested.
But you can’t change the world from the surface.
Alone in a self-built submersible, Jan Svensen descends into the deepest part of the ocean to prove his experimental energy device works. No funding. No oversight. Just pressure, data, and the silence of the abyss.
And with no one left to see it, the most important discovery of his life begins to unfold.
