Résumé
In 2187, the machine is never wrong. When Dr. Mira Vasant's AI calculates that humanity will destroy itself within 247 years, it also calculates the one thing that can stop it - not a cure, not a weapon, but a delay. Someone must travel five thousand years into the past and slow the human mind before it ever learns to race. So Mira is sent to the dawn of cities, to ancient Uruk, where she becomes Enhedu: prophet, fraud, and architect of a faith built to turn humankind away from the science that will one day doom it.
She knows the gods she preaches are a lie. She has come to invent them. But belief is not so easily controlled - least of all her own. As the years pass and the lie takes root, Mira begins to feel something stir beneath her careful machinery: doubt, then wonder, and at last a faith she never meant to share. A luminous, far-reaching novel about the cost of knowing the future, the strange mercy of belief, and a woman caught between the truth that ends the world and the lie that saves it.
For readers of Emily St. John Mandel's Sea of Tranquility and Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea.
