Mesh

Four worlds. Four futures. One mind-bending journey through the edges of science, time, and love.

What happens when science stretches past the limits of imagination - and the heart refuses to obey the laws of physics?

From scientist-filmmaker Niladri Sarker comes Mesh, a quartet of visionary tales that blend hard science with human longing, cosmic wonder, and the quiet ache of mortality.

• THE PASSING - In a war humanity cannot win, a resistance fighter confronts the ultimate question: when your creations surpass you, is survival worth more than surrender?
• THE STAR STRIPPER - At the end of time, a near-eternal being defies cosmic law to save his child - and in doing so, may destroy the universe itself.
• UNKNOW - A stranded AI drifts alone around a red dwarf star, unraveling the meaning of consciousness in the eternal silence.
• FLICKER - Across unfathomable distances, a pulsar carries the entire history of an alien civilization that lived for just three seconds.

Rich in scientific plausibility and lyrical prose, these four stories traverse deep space, deep time, and the deep mysteries of the human (and nonhuman) soul.

If you love the speculative rigor of Arthur C. Clarke, the cosmic scale of Liu Cixin, or the poetic stillness of Ted Chiang, Mesh will take you to the horizon where physics and feeling collide.

Step into the mesh of space, time, and mind - and discover what remains when the universe itself falls away.
