Gods and God Particles - The Silence Equation narrates a sweeping yet intimate story of humanity and human relationships, built on a robust scaffolding of real science, modern philosophy, and the teachings of the world's great religions.
Set in a near-future, humanity stands at a precipice: Authoritarian regimes consolidate power, societies drift into techno-apathy and overstimulation, and empathy erodes. Yet across the globe, many ordinary people, scientists, artists, and activists quietly resist the slide toward dehumanization.
At the center is Arun, a renowned physicist who encounters a conscious cosmic collective inhabiting a domain consistent with modern cosmology, and vested in the establishment of harmony. Having subtly guided the emergence and evolution of humans, the collective is now alarmed by the world's trajectory and recruits Arun as its agent, granting him unusual abilities to restore balance and empathy.
Meanwhile, a visionary technologist launches an implant-based system to free humanity from authoritarian control. It, however, risks large-scale psychological damage.
As authoritarian power, technological utilitarianism, and empathic resistance collide, Arun, guided by great philosophical traditions, turns to the thermodynamics of mind and the possibility of gently reshaping human connections through genetic alteration. The fate of humanity hinges on his success in repairing the torn fabric of harmony woven into both cosmos and life.
Written by a research physicist with extensive experience in major laboratories, the novel's drama emerges, not from usual science fiction tropes, but from the rigorous extrapolation of cutting-edge science and the political and psychological tensions of our time.
