While fuel shortages, hunger and random violence bring chaos and anarchy, scientists struggle to perfect the Archmorph, a computer program so vast it may solve the entire riddle of human history.

Now Elsa will risk her friends, her career and her life—for a discovery that may stand between humanity and total annihilation.
