Manifold

Stephen Baxter

In a near-future Earth strained by ecological collapse, relentless population growth, and the consequences of unchecked technological expansion, humanity faces a crisis that threatens its very survival. As scientists and visionaries search for a way forward, the boundaries of time, space, and human possibility begin to unravel. Blending hard science fiction with sweeping speculation, the novel explores humanity’s impact on the planet, the ethics of technological progress, and the astonishing prospects that may await beyond the limits of conventional history.
