What if a hospital were designed not for efficiency... but for humanity?
In 2035, in Vancouver, a 102-year-old man named Seamus O'Callaghan quietly prepares to give away everything he has.
An Irish immigrant who built his life from the sea, Seamus has outlived his wife, his children, and nearly everyone he ever loved. But one memory never leaves him: the narrow rooms, the harsh lights, and the exhausting corridors where his beloved Ann spent her final months.
So he decides to build something different.
Instead of another crowded, confusing medical complex, Seamus funds an experiment in compassion: a hospital made of light, glass, gardens, and calm-a place where artificial intelligence handles the burden of logistics, so doctors and nurses can return to what matters most: presence, care, and human connection.
As the Glass Hospital rises from an idea to a reality, this novel follows Seamus's life-from the Irish coast to the Pacific shore, from love to loss, and from grief to one final act of generosity that will touch people he will never meet.
Tender, hopeful, and deeply human, The Glass Hospital is a story about legacy, dignity, and the quiet ways love can reshape the future.
It is not a story about technology.
It is a story about what we choose to build with it.
