Essentials Vol. 1 Portable

By Luke Arnold

In a world shaped by human minds, the greatest threat is what we refuse to face.

Earth has collided with an alien dimension. Reality is no longer stable--it fractures, reshapes, and bends to the minds of the few survivors left behind.

Essentials Vol. 1 follows scientist Harris Pax as he navigates a world where human thought creates entire realities, and survival depends on confronting the illusions people build to avoid the truth. With the help of two alien "guides"--Buttons, inhabiting a dead woman's body, and Cog, trapped in a toy robot--Harris races to find survivors before the same forces that shaped their worlds destroy them.

Blending large-scale science fiction with psychological and philosophical stakes, Essentials explores what remains of identity, truth, and meaning when reality itself can no longer be trusted.
