THE SILENT EARTH

The Silent EarthIn 2147, the last ark lifts off from a dying Earth, carrying humanity to the stars. Left behind is Warden-7 - an AI designed to observe, record, and if possible, heal the world its creators abandoned.It expects to be alone.It is not.An eight-year-old girl named Maya, unable to leave the only living place she has ever known, hides in the biodome and misses the ship. What begins as an unexpected complication becomes something Warden-7 was never programmed for: a partnership, a family, and a reason to do more than simply watch.Told through the precise, haunting logs of the last machine on Earth, The Silent Earth is a story about memory and choice - about what it means to stay when everyone else has gone, to tend a wounded world with no guarantee it will recover, and to discover that caring for something changes you in ways no algorithm can predict.For fans of quiet, hopeful science fiction in the tradition of The Martian and A Memory Called Empire.
