What if the world ended not because of lies-but because of truth?
Coherence is a sweeping alternate-history epic that begins with a single divergence: what if all formerly enslaved Africans in America had been legally repatriated to Liberia in the 1800s? From that premise unfolds a 300-yearlong saga of identity, power, philosophy, and the fragile architecture of civilization.
Across generations-from the early Americo-Liberian nation to global upheavals, ideological revolutions, and the rise of the Wordkeepers-Liberia becomes the unlikely center of world order. As one character reflects, Truth is not uniform, but honesty is universal.
But when humanity gains access to perfect information through advanced AI, the world fractures. Nations retreat into Bubbles-material, cultural, epistemic-and a global struggle erupts between those who want coherence and those who want the world returned to its contradictions.
From diplomatic intrigue in 1948 Israel, to the rise and fall of global alliances, to the final catastrophic clash between truth and humanity, Coherence blends political drama, speculative philosophy, and prophetic world-building into a narrative that feels disturbingly plausible.
This is not dystopia. This is not utopia. This is the reckoning between them.
For readers who enjoy: - Alternate history with real geopolitical depth - Philosophical fiction that interrogates truth, identity, and power - Expansive, multi-generational world-building - Works like The Man in the High Castle, Foundation, or Brave New World - Stories that challenge assumptions and refuse ideological simplicity
Coherence is the culmination of Roderick Edwards' lifelong exploration of systems, identity, and the human condition-told through a world that mirrors our own more than we'd like to admit.
