The Oracle Protocol
The Oracle Protocol
On a distant world shaped by a broken singularity, time does not move forward—it branches.
For centuries, an isolated human colony has ordered its entire existence around the visions of the Oracle, a woman whose proximity to the anomaly allows her to perceive possible futures. Her prophecies are law. Her certainty is comfort. Her power is absolute.
When **Leela Jade**, a system specialist from a post-scarcity civilization built on free will, arrives to study the planet, she expects a scientific mystery. Instead, she finds a society frozen by foreknowledge—and a future already decided. As Leela is drawn deeper into the colony’s rituals, politics, and faith, she must confront a dangerous *Is a life without choice worth the certainty it provides?*
Haunted by her own past and guided only by an AI companion that warns against intervention, Leela faces an impossible decision—preserve the Oracle’s power and the fragile peace it enforces, or help dismantle it and unleash a future no one can predict.
"Mythic, philosophical, and quietly thrilling", this novel explores fate, faith, and the terrifying beauty of choice—asking what remains of humanity when the future no longer speaks back.
