Seeking answers to our existence is innate to human nature — what is the purpose of our lives, why are we here? Across cultures and time, governing and opposing institutions have competed to console these existential questions for us.

Today, Science holds a prominent position to this ened, reporting discoveries at an unprecedented rate. While the last frontier of neuroscience, the nature of human consciousness, poses significant challenges to uncover, its impact will expectedly change our understanding and the way we live dramatically.

The novel The Tannhauser Gate explores this intersection. It takes its outset in a peculiar problem of human consciousness that, when resolved, has unparalleled potential and consequences on what it means to be human.
