Gravity: A Darkly Humorous Story of Cosmic Wonder

By A P BATEMAN

When astrophysicist Andromeda Quark discovers that a passing gravitational wave is about to loosen Earth's grip for ninety catastrophic seconds, she does what any responsible scientist would do: she warns people. Unfortunately, she lives in a world that would rather call her findings "quirky science," bury them in bureaucracy, or turn them into a hashtag. As Dublin becomes the unlikely epicentre of a coming anomaly-and the wider Northern Hemisphere braces for impact-Andromeda finds herself joined by Joe O'Shea, a sardonic physicist with a gift for inconvenient truth, and Zak Black, a scandalously effective PR operator who can turn impending disaster into a media strategy before lunch. As the countdown intensifies, teenagers chase viral fame, officials issue useless reassurances, and the city drifts towards awe, panic, and falling furniture. Darkly funny, sharply observed, and unexpectedly tender, The Gravity of Things is a novella about science, spectacle, and the fragile miracle of what keeps us grounded.
