2084 Breath of Ascendance by Alain Jutras
2084 Breath of Ascendance: When Reality Bends, Humanity Ascends
In a world teetering on the brink of 2084, two unlikely heroes emerge from the shadows of their own existence. Lucien, a being devoid of emotion and physicality since birth, and Russel, a man who awakens from a coma to find himself erased from the world’s memory, are thrust into a cosmic dance of destiny and choice.
As Lucien grapples with the first stirrings of feeling in his synthetic soul, Russel navigates a reality that has forgotten him, each step a battle to reclaim his identity. Their parallel journeys converge on a single, earth-shattering mission: to save a world they barely understand and to which they scarcely belong.
Alain Jutras weaves a tapestry of myth and modernity, where the lines between artificial intelligence and human consciousness blur into obscurity. Through bustling cityscapes and desolate wastelands, Lucien and Russel confront the very essence of what it means to be human in a world where humanity itself is in question.
“2084 Breath of Ascendance” challenges readers to ponder the deepest questions of existence. Are our paths predetermined, or do we forge our own destinies? Can love transcend the boundaries of flesh and circuit? As death looms and consciousness evolves, what truly defines us?
This mind-bending odyssey will captivate fans of Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and Ted Chiang’s “Exhalation,” offering a fresh perspective on the timeless struggle between determinism and free will.
Embark on a journey that spans time, reality, and the very fabric of civilization. Will Lucien and Russel find their place in a world that challenges their very existence? Or will their quest to save humanity ultimately redefine what it means to be human?
Step into the breathtaking world of “2084 Breath of Ascendance” and discover that in the face of an uncertain future, the most powerful force might just be the human spirit—whether born of flesh or forged in silicon.
