Having lived for six billion years in a world of infinite potential, a world where technology has made it possible to practically live forever, An, one of the Ancients, has grown utterly weary of his existence. With a heavy heart, he leaves Ki, his beloved, and embarks on one final journey to Earth, the cradle of civilization and the planet where he was once born. There, he intends to conclude his life, as Earth now only has days before it will be engulfed by the dying sun....
An and Ki: At the End of Time is an epic, surrealistic tale of love, loss, and the quest for an answer to the ultimate question: what, then, is the meaning of life after you have experienced everything? With colorful characters, an exploration of mind-bending technologies, and a poignant meditation on what it means to be alive, this book will leave you pondering the heavier questions far beyond the final seconds.
David Sikter is a Swedish computer scientist and science fiction writer. The story of An and Ki was originally published as part of the collection Technocalypsis, but now, for the first time, is also being released as a standalone novel.
