Set in the year 2325, Song of Theseus unfolds in a future where civilization has expanded across the solar system, and Earth has faded into distant memory. Yet amidst all the wandering, humans have lost the ability to wonder.

Adrian, a 17-year-old aspiring astrophysicist, and his 15-year-old sister, Fiona, live in a society governed by AI consensus and a diminishing imagination. When their parents, a former physicist and neuroscientist, are ostracized for resisting neural conformity, the siblings set out on a journey through the solar system to uncover the truth and rediscover what it means to be human.As they decrypt hidden memories and challenge artificial realities, they must confront the ancient paradox of the Ship of Theseus: if every plank is replaced, does the vessel remain itself? If all human consciousness is uploaded to the stars, do we preserve our selfhood, or drift forever as phantoms in a digital database?

Blending astrophysical concepts, ethical philosophy, and ancient cosmic myths, The Song of Theseus is a coming-of-age science fiction adventure—an ode to the universe, memory, and a mother who illuminated a decadent world.  In alignment with the Foundation’s mission to inspire both curiosity and compassion, all proceeds from the novel are donated to the Stars of Tomorrow Foundation to fund the Telescope for Tomorrow Program, which supports telescope donations and astronomy workshops for students in underserved communities.
