More info coming soon...
November 2021. When the first
time machine is activated, two hundred billion time travellers appear on Earth.
They are celebrating Time Travel Day, the very first moment in which it is
possible to travel back in time.
This event destroys the world
as we know it: money ceases to exist, governments lose their function, and
everyone can access all future technologies, including time travel. People can
travel to any time in the future they want to see, right to the end of time
flow. But this has an enormous price: time is a dangerous toy to play with.
Ádám Beregi lives for his
family, but on Time Travel Day, somebody from the future kidnaps his son and
his wife, Enikő. Ádám tries to find them in the chaotic and ever-changing time
flow, in a realm of mad technologies and artificial micro-universes.
The inventor of the time
machine, Neil Jarrison, is a strange loner. Even though he is executed in 2612,
many people want to find him, because he possesses knowledge that can save the
world. Or destroy it completely. But the inventor is always one step ahead of
his pursuers, and it seems he is only interested in one thing: an enigmatic
woman, Rebeca, who might be the key to all mysteries.
Most people know that it is impossible to travel back in time before the
moment the first time machine started to operate. But there is another time
technology that reached Earth considerably earlier, thanks to a more advanced,
alien civilisation that managed to escape the collapse of their own time flow,
but paid a great price for it.
About fifteen years after the
events of Time Travel Day, Rebeca Satoshi uses this alien technology to go back
to the past and find his father, a physicist lost in time. She involuntarily
launches a chain of events that could lead to the annihilation of the present,
the past and the future of human civilisation.
Aided by his younger self,
Bálint Beregi, the inventor of the time machine, labours to understand the
nature of time travel and to stop the collapse of the time flow. They struggle
against impossible odds even though they enlist the help of a team of
scientists plucked from the 20th century, including Albert Einstein and John
von Neumann. Time is running out, and both the alien civilisation of the
Maxwell demons and the posthuman organisation created in the micro-universe of
the Haugen dimension try to thwart them.
Three thousand
people were taken simultaneously from different parts of our Earth. Attila, a teenager from Budapest, Yuri Vitkov, a Russian businessman, and his
eleven-year-old daughter, Aurora are among them.
Three thousand people travel
inside a living spaceship, drifting further and further away from Earth. The
ship is crowded and depressing, and its prisoners have no idea why they were
taken, where they are heading or what their kidnappers plan to do with them.
The journey forges them into an immoral and lawless community.
Soon enough they reach a
strange world incomprehensible to them. Its inhabitants communicate with
scents: evolution chose a different path there, and their arrival upset the
lives of hundreds of species and cultures. Attila, Yuri and the others only
want to stay alive, but sooner or later they have to face a much more important
question. Can they retain their humanity?
It happened from one moment to
the next: in 2028, the Sun disappeared from the sky. It was replaced by a red
dwarf shining its crimson rays on the light side of the Earth, while strange
constellations blaze above the dark and frozen side of our planet. Nobody knows
the reason for the phenomenon known as the Jump and human civilisation is shaken
by the shock. The countries on the light side are flooded by millions of
refugees, global economy collapses, and humanity fights for survival.
But a new world is born out of
the destruction. Twenty years later, technical development accelerates at a
pace never seen before, life is fresh and modern, and the new generations only
know old Earth from legends. Szofia Kerti, a genetically modified girl from
Budapest, and her friends look to the future, where a new turning point awaits
humanity: technological singularity. Beyond this event, the curve of
technological evolution becomes vertical, and no prognostics can see beyond it.
This is when humanity may become its own gods.
But are the Jump of 2028 and
the dizzying pace of technological advancement really independent of one
another?
