Book One of ZYMATICA: A Trilogy
If all the ice in the world melted today, not even the tallest skyscraper could save you.
The ground remembers. Do you?
Imagine waking up to a world where the news headlines you scroll past every morning are not random disasters, but the ticking gears of a single, colossal machine.
Imagine four hundred billion tons of polar ice vanishing into the oceans year after year, quietly shifting trillions of gallons of mass toward the equator until the very spin of the Earth begins to drag and tilt. Imagine extreme solar storms tearing through the upper atmosphere, pumping invisible rivers of electricity deep into saturated fault lines beneath our cities. Imagine record-breaking ocean heat, continent-wide fires painting the Manhattan sky a bruised, apocalyptic orange, and a simple 4.8-magnitude tremor rippling quietly through the billion-year-old bedrock beneath Broadway.
To the millions of people rushing into subways, drinking twelve-dollar lattes, and hurrying to corporate meetings, these are just separate, fleeting alerts on a glass screen.
No one realizes they are dominoes.
Do you think it's fate, or is it all terrifyingly connected?
With every passing year, the planetary cogs revolve faster and faster. The pressure mounts. The fault lines tighten. Yet eight billion people remain blissfully unaware that the countdown to an unprecedented catalyst has already begun.
And driven straight into the heart of that final domino effect sits a fifty-two-story monument to human arrogance.
Humanity can rewrite building codes, try to remediate, recycle, or cut emissions. We can manipulate financial markets and automate our conscience.
The water world planet does not negotiate.
When the foundation of modern civilization begins to slip, how long do you have before all the dominoes come crashing down?
The cogs are turning-tick-tock... until it erases you just like history.
Or did we forget?
When did memories learn to lie?
