What happens when the stories we tell ourselves about reality begin to fall away?
In these quietly unsettling stories, moments of insight reveal the fragile structures beneath ordinary life. A scientist invents a device that strips away the mind's comforting narratives, exposing the hidden patterns beneath human behavior. A mysterious stranger speaks with the patience of someone who may have witnessed centuries of history. Elsewhere, small shifts in perception open doors to realities that challenge everything we think we understand.
As technology, philosophy, and everyday life intersect, the characters in these stories find themselves confronting unsettling questions:
- What remains when illusion dissolves?
- Can knowledge deepen compassion-or only strip meaning away?
- Is reality colder than we believe... or more mysterious?
Blending speculative ideas with philosophical depth, Daniel McKenzie explores illusion and truth, power and compassion, and the uneasy boundary between knowledge and wisdom.
The Eyes of God is a collection about seeing clearly-and the cost of doing so.
