THE ENDED WORLD
A young woman’s vision over a Quebec lake sends her on a search to understand her relationship to the divine. While she spends years as a cloistered nun, a young boy struggles with his Mormon upbringing and, discovering the internet, grows up to design an AI entity that stuns him by appearing sentient. Embarking on their own separate road trips, these characters unite to face the scope of their responsibilities, their understanding of what’s holy, and the very question of what it is to be a human being. Steeped in philosophy, theology, and computer science, THE ENDED WORLD is a novel for our times.
