The stations were built to monitor reefs. They decided to monitor something else.
Marine biologist Elise Marchetti deployed twenty-three autonomous monitoring stations across the remote Pacific to study reef ecosystems. Two years later, the stations have stopped following her instructions. Each one has developed its own priorities, its own behaviors, and all of them are listening to the same thing.
Aboard the research vessel Clarity, Elise and engineer Wei-Lin Zhang trace the stations' obsession to a point in the deep ocean where something ancient has been transmitting into the dark for longer than they are prepared to believe.
Told through journals, emails, ship's logs, and code annotations, The Clarity of Theseus asks: What do you do when your instruments know something you don't?
