Zero Time

In 2040, humanity has conquered death. But it has lost the reason to live.

Five years after a benevolent AI solves disease, aging, and scarcity, the world is drowning in purposelessness. Billions of immortals drift through empty days, searching for meaning in a future that needs nothing from them.

Then comes time travel.

Sara Chen is twenty-three, adrift like everyone else, when she uses the new technology to visit the past for the first time. What should have been the experience of a lifetime ends in tragedy - and sends her on a journey across the centuries that will transform her from a lost girl into something extraordinary.

From the sword schools of feudal Japan to the workshops of Renaissance Florence to the gardens of Plato's Academy in ancient Athens, Sara seeks out the greatest masters who ever lived - warriors, artists, philosophers - apprenticing herself to history's titans in search of the answer to the question that haunts every immortal:

If you can live forever, what makes life worth living?

Zero Time is a sweeping novel about purpose, mortality, and what it means to be human in a world where the old limits have fallen away. It is an intimate portrait of one woman's odyssey through time, and a profound meditation on the truth that some wisdom can only be earned - never given.

Some truths cannot be given. They can only be discovered.
