The year is 2055. Grim apocalyptic forecasts regarding the development of civilization have not come true: thanks to advances in nanotechnology and bioengineering, most of humanity is fed, clothed, and educated. Science is flourishing. In just a few days, the most important event will take place — the publication of the “Theory of Everything” — the equivalent of the Holy Grail for physics, a theory that will explain all the processes taking place in the Universe. There are only two “buts”... Will the Universe as we know it survive the “Aleph” moment — the moment the ToE is announced? And where did the mysterious mental illness — Distress — come from, affecting more and more people around the world as that moment approaches?
