THE HIGHEST-FUNDED DEBUT NOVEL IN CROWDFUNDING HISTORY A science fiction epic about a world where the internet grows from trees. Its rulers control billions without armies; they shape desire itself. One boy never logged in. Audiobook narrated by Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings). "Uncomfortably close to our current relationship with technology and social media algorithms-and that's entirely the point." -Variety "Weaving elevates an exceptional story that raises questions about modern society in a compulsively listenable experience" -Kirkus Audiobook ReviewAn insect will soon go extinct. Seven years later, this will cause a civil war that kills millions. The Divyas know this. Through their planetwide network of Maya trees, they can see all that is, and therefore, predict all that will be. They intervene invisibly. The insect will survive. The war will never happen. No one will ever know. On Neh, seven species tether daily to Maya. The trees immerse them in play, fable, and the company of the living and the dead. The Divyas rule all of Neh without armies. Why force obedience when you can shape desire itself? Now, the Divya Trials have been announced. Billions will compete. One will ascend to godhood. In every future predicted by the Maya network, the outcome is certain: the son of a god will win. Kshar disagrees. He has rehearsed the scion's assassination a hundred times in Maya's simulations.

“Uncomfortably close to our current relationship with technology and social media algorithms―and that's entirely the point.” ―Variety
"Weaving elevates an exceptional story that raises questions about modern society in a compulsively listenable experience" ―Kirkus Audiobook Review
An insect will soon go extinct. Seven years later, this will cause a civil war that kills millions.
The Divyas know this. Through their planetwide network of Maya trees, they can see all that is, and therefore, predict all that will be. They intervene invisibly. The insect will survive. The war will never happen. No one will ever know.
On Neh, seven species tether daily to Maya. The trees immerse them in play, fable, and the company of the living and the dead. The Divyas rule all of Neh without armies. Why force obedience when you can shape desire itself?
Now, the Divya Trials have been announced. Billions will compete. One will ascend to godhood. In every future predicted by the Maya network, the outcome is certain: the son of a god will win.
Kshar disagrees. He has rehearsed the scion’s assassination a hundred times in Maya’s simulations. In seventeen minutes, a single fruit will begin a cascade that ends in a riot. The plan is perfect. Every move predicted. Every breath choreographed.
Except one. Yachay. Nineteen years old. Maker of riddles.
His grandfather has staked their lives on him winning the Trials. But Yachay seeks what he has been kept away from. Maya. He doesn’t know:
When you gaze into Maya, Maya gazes back into you.

Hugo Weaving (beloved as Agent Smith in The Matrix, Elrond in The Lord of the Rings) narrates the audiobook.
Neuroscientist Anil Seth, famed for his work on consciousness research, and author of Being You, has written the foreword to the novel.
