Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Last Light of Eden>In 2342, humanity has colonized the galaxy - but not equally. New Eden, a world of crystalline towers and engineered perfection, is reserved for the privileged elite. The vast outer rim, home to billions of ordinary people, exists to be used and forgotten. When cargo hauler Jax Kael notices that jump gates across the outer rim are failing in a pattern that doesn't match the official 'solar flare' explanation, his android co-pilot Kira-7 confirms the unthinkable: the disruptions are gravitational, directed, and moving inward. Someone is collapsing the galaxy - sector by sector - to clear space for a paradise they intend to keep. The culprit is Project Elysium - a weaponized singularity engineered and deployed by New Eden's Sanctuary Council. Sixty percent of all colonized space is slated for destruction so that a few thousand privileged survivors can inherit a cleaner, quieter universe. The architects of this apocalypse have done the math. They've called it an acceptable cost. 'They built a perfect machine. They made one imperfect assumption: that sixty percent of a galaxy would collapse quietly, in the order and pattern they expected, without any surprises.'>But the machine, it turns out, is running faster than its designers planned. The cascade is accelerating. And if the models are right, the singularity's trajectory is about to shift - directly toward New Eden itself. The architects of extinction may have built their own tomb. The Last Light of Eden is the story of what people do when they cannot stop something terrible - and why doing it anyway matters. Not a story of heroes, but of the specific, ordinary acts of truth-telling that constitute resistance when heroism isn't available.…

They made one imperfect assumption: that sixty percent of a galaxy would collapse quietly, in the order and pattern they expected, without any surprises."Jax and Kira navigate eleven light-years of blind sublight travel, rescue the whistleblower scientist Dr. Aris Thorne from a disappearing outpost, and piece together a fragile network of outer rim voices - haulers, researchers, a resigned Councilor - broadcasting the truth on frequencies nobody is supposed to be watching anymore.
