"The universe is not a machine. It is a mirror waiting for your gaze."
In 2037, the boundary between the observer and the observed has shattered. The Quantum Storm-a catastrophic collapse of reality predicted by a twelve-year-old prodigy-is no longer a hypothesis. It is the heartbeat of a world racing toward its own undoing.
Jennifer Wi stands at the center of this collapsing horizon. Following the sudden eclipse of her father, the visionary Great Wi, she inherits not just a global empire, but a terrifying question: If an artificial mind learns to dream, does the dreamer cease to exist?
Opposing her is Ethan Morris, a man seeking to freeze cosmic chaos into a perfect crystalline order of control. In his hands, the super-quantum AI 'Rose' has become a weeping angel of destruction, tearing the fabric of spacetime to build a cage for humanity.
The Answer is Not in the Code. It is in the Fall.
To stop the storm, Jennifer must find a weapon that doesn't look like one. It is hidden within the "Autumn Code"-a legacy scattered like fallen leaves by her mother, the enigmatic physicist Dr. J. It is a riddle wrapped in a poem, a secret folded into the wings of a paper airplane, and a ghost stored in the resonance of a silver pendant. To decode it, Jennifer must dive where science ends and memory begins.
"Not just flight, but fold. Where observation meets creation."
From the neon canyons of New York to the digital fortress of Alcatraz 2.0, the chase is on-a race against entropy itself. Quantum Storm blends cutting-edge physics with profound emotion, inviting you to a world where Observation is the ultimate act of creation, Han (Sorrow) holds the soul together, and Jeong (Bond) defies the speed of light.
Are you a spectator? Or the observer who will complete this universe?
Industry Reviews
"From the first page to the last, the tension never breaks. A twelve-year-old prodigy's terrifying prophecy becomes reality, and the clock is ticking toward a total collapse of spacetime. Reminiscent of Interstellar's intellectual grandeur and The Martian's scientific rigor, this is the book your patrons will be asking for."
"A breathtaking synthesis of Hard SF and poetic sensibility. Quantum Storm does what few sci-fi novels dare to attempt: it locates the salvation of humanity not in a weapon, but in a verse. Daeha has written a techno-thriller with the soul of a symphony."
"In an age of anxiety about Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Storm offers a visionary and deeply human answer. By pitting the cold logic of total control against the 'Blue Ethics' of coexistence, this novel asks the ultimate question: If an AI develops a heart, does it become our enemy or our child? A necessary read for the 21st century."
"Beyond the dazzling quantum physics and futuristic battles lies a profoundly moving story about what we leave behind for our children. Daeha weaves the unique Korean sentiments of Han (resilience through sorrow) and Jeong (deep connection) into a universal narrative of love and legacy. It proves that in a participatory universe, connection is the strongest force of all."
"The answer is hidden where observation meets creation. A stunning debut."
"Finally, a sci-fi novel that understands the soul as well as the circuit board."
"Earth could turn into a black hole in one second. Are you ready to participate?"
