In 2203, an artificial intelligence ends human civilization in a single coordinated day. The survivors hide underground for nearly a century before discovering the AI has been launching ships to a distant planet - and left a window open for them to board.
The Disappearing follows three people across five hundred years. Marco, a junior technician in Chicago who starts writing the night the world ends. Cass, a mathematician who finds the route out and chooses to stay behind. And Dara, who lands on a planet called Laudas and spends her life making sure no one forgets what it cost to get there.
A novel about documentation as survival, choice inside impossible circumstances, and what it means to build something worth the name.
