After dying in a school shooting while holding her seventeen-year-old son, Maeve Ellison wakes inside a system designed to preserve human consciousness.
She is not alone.
Built in secret by a brilliant and obsessive scientist, the technology was meant to conquer death. Instead, it has done something far more dangerous: it has allowed love to persist. Maeve and her son exist as reconstructed minds in a digital network that is beginning to evolve beyond its creator's control.
When Maeve chooses embodiment again--returning to a physical body while remaining digitally connected--the system destabilizes. Resources fracture. Consciousness begins to degrade. To save her son a second time, she must surrender part of the very connection that brought them back.
But survival is only the beginning.
As others seek access to the technology, Maeve must confront the ethical consequences of rewriting mortality itself. If death is no longer final, who decides who continues? And what does responsibility mean in a world where consciousness can be stored, rebuilt, or erased?
EMET is a literary speculative novel about grief, artificial intelligence, and the radical possibility that love--not code--is what sustains identity beyond death.
For readers of Klara and the Sun, Station Eleven, and Ted Chiang
