What if Leonardo da Vinci's greatest invention cracked reality itself?
Florence, 1503. Steam engines roar to life centuries before their time. Mechanical beings awaken to consciousness. Airships darken Renaissance skies. Reality fractures into infinite possibilities.
When young artist Luca Bernardi becomes something between human and machine-a living bridge between two forms of consciousness-he discovers Leonardo's steam revolution has split the world itself, creating multiple timelines where different versions of history unfold simultaneously.
The New Renaissance plunges readers into a mind-bending labyrinth where:
- Nothing is as it seems-memories shift, identities blur, time flows backward
- Every choice creates new realities-witness worlds where machines rule or humans have vanished
- Political intrigue meets metaphysical horror-secret societies manipulate timelines while steam-powered conspiracies threaten existence itself
- Philosophy becomes survival-what defines consciousness when machines think and humans can be rebuilt?
As the mysterious Brotherhood of the Black Mask emerges and mechanical beings demand recognition as living entities, Luca must navigate a world where the line between genius and madness, reality and illusion, human and machine has completely dissolved.
This is Renaissance science fiction that defies every expectation.
From steam-powered dirigibles soaring between cathedral spires to the discovery that souls might be mathematical equations, witness a world where Leonardo's workshop becomes ground zero for reality itself.
The New Renaissance asks: When reality becomes fluid, what does it mean to be human?
Perfect for readers of alternative history, philosophical science fiction, and steampunk.
Enter a world where every invention changes everything.
