Dr. Maya Sato has lived with an extraordinary burden since childhood: she perceives human consciousness as complex mathematical equations, beautiful and chaotic formulas that reveal the depths of every soul. For thirty years, she's hidden this "condition" while secretly using her gift to revolutionize consciousness research.
But when her eight-year-old son Kai begins manifesting the same ability, Maya discovers something terrifying-someone has been systematically rewriting human consciousness equations on a global scale, preparing humanity for the ultimate harvest.
With only 72 hours before a solar flare destroys all technology on Earth, Maya faces an impossible choice: allow a mysterious collective to preserve human consciousness as sterile mathematical perfection, or fight back with the one thing their artificial intelligence cannot replicate-the beautiful, chaotic, utterly irrational mathematics of love.
From the quiet desperation of a mother protecting her gifted child to a cosmic battle for the soul of humanity itself, The Equation of Souls explores what happens when love becomes a weapon, consciousness becomes currency, and a mother's devotion rewrites the equations of existence.
Perfect for readers who loved Dark Matter, Klara and the Sun, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo-a stunning blend of hard science fiction, literary fiction, and profound emotional truth that will leave you questioning the very nature of consciousness, connection, and what it truly means to be human.
In a universe where everything can be calculated, love remains the ultimate variable.
