Waking Gods

Description

Twenty-six years after a young woman in South Dakota falls through the earth and awakens on the palm of a colossal metal hand, her life becomes the key to a mystery that refuses to stay buried. Now a leading physicist, she and her team race to decode the origin and purpose of the buried artifact—only to find that each answer multiplies the stakes. As a second, newly surfaced robot threatens to reshape the world from the skies above London, the story turns into a high-velocity blend of scientific wonder and existential dread. With Sylvain Neuvel’s cinematic, puzzle-driven storytelling, the book explores themes of discovery, responsibility, and what it means to meet an intelligence that may be older—and far more consequential—than humanity itself.
