When inexplicable flashes of white light begin appearing across the globe, scientists dismiss them as atmospheric anomalies. But as entire sections of matter vanish without a trace, it becomes clear that humanity is witnessing something unprecedented. British science communicator Nigel Grant-Taylor and American physicist Brian Bell-Thompson uncover a terrifying truth: the phenomenon is not natural, nor is it an attack.
Earth is being consumed by a quantum computation originating in a parallel universe. The Empty Light is a hard science fiction thriller that explores quantum physics, artificial intelligence, parallel universes, and the fragile nature of reality itself.
