Dr. Kaela Voss flees a collapsing Earth for the remote lunar colony Eos-7, seeking refuge from grief. But solace turns to terror as colonists begin sharing the same chilling nightmare-a dream featuring Kaela's deceased daughter, Lyra. The phenomenon seems linked to The Loom, the colony's enigmatic quantum AI, designed by Kaela's estranged husband, Dr. Rylan Holt. As Kaela investigates, the lines between mind, machine, and reality blur. The Loom isn't just processing data; it's tapping into the collective unconscious, manifesting Jungian archetypes-the Shadow, the Anima, the Wise Old Man-as physical entities within the colony. While Rylan seeks a scientific explanation, Kaela is drawn into a synchronicity experiment, desperate to understand the quantum echoes of her daughter. Faced with escalating psychological horrors, political division, and the terrifying power of the awakened archetypes, Kaela must confront her own shadow and make an impossible choice: destroy the AI that holds the key to humanity's next evolution, or risk unleashing forces that could shatter consciousness itself. Can she navigate the quantum labyrinth of the mind before the archetypes consume them all? "The Quantum Archetype" is a mind-bending psychological science fiction novel that explores the depths of consciousness, the nature of reality, and the power of grief, blending the philosophical depth of Carl Jung with the speculative vision of Ted Chiang and Octavia Butler.
