Genesis
GENESIS tells the story of Earth's creation from the perspective of Uriel, one of four Ethereal Minds who voted - three to one - to select this planet as the node for a life-instancing project. Uriel voted against it. And has spent eons documenting exactly why he was right.
Alongside Gabriel the optimist, Rafael the pure observer, and Miguel the proceduralist, Uriel witnesses the full development of life on Earth: from the first self-replicating molecules near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor to the appearance of hominids who, one night around a fire, tilt their faces toward the sky for no practical reason whatsoever. Just to look.
Across seven geological cycles, five mass extinctions, a free-observation experiment, and a meeting no one called to debate free will, GENESIS reimagines creation as what it perhaps always was: a poorly documented project, approved by simple majority, with a risk appendix nobody read.
A philosophical science fiction novel narrated in the dry, precise voice of someone who was there, kept meticulous records of everything, and still cannot quite believe they chose to come.
