When the Lights Go Out: What the Universe Remembers, (Paperback)

<p>When Amy Ackerman dies, she expects oblivion.</p><p>Instead, she wakes in a future where consciousness can survive death, memories can be preserved, and the ordinary details of a life have become humanity's most precious resource.</p><p>Given forty-three days to decide whether she will help bear witness to the end of the universe itself, Amy finds herself caught between impossible choices. Should she become part of a project designed to carry the small truths of existence into the final darkness? Or should she choose the fragile, imperfect life unfolding before her-coffee shared with friends, arguments with her sister, strangers waking from long sleep, and the stubborn comfort of a cat on a kitchen counter?</p><p>As she navigates questions of grief, identity, consent, and what it truly means to remember, Amy discovers that the fate of humanity may rest not in grand gestures or legendary heroes, but in the quiet moments people choose to preserve.</p><p>Profound, intimate, and deeply human, <b>When the Lights Go Out: What the Universe Remembers</b> is a moving speculative novel about love, loss, and the ordinary things that make life worth carrying into the unknown.</p>
