The Vacuum We Return To by Tsung-Long Wu

A dramatic clash of cutting-edge science and the impossible unknown, The Vacuum We Return To by Tsung-Long Wu is an imaginative sci-fi parable about time, memory, and the subjectivity of reality. Sophy Valentine, a DARPA-funded physicist, has discovered a gateway in the brain that challenges the foundational laws of the universe; her husband, a seasoned fireman, witnesses an anomaly in the flow of time and receives an ominous warning about dark forces descending on his family. Despite repetitive structures and occasionally cyclical prose, this is a mind-altering plunge into theoretical physics and the endless mysteries of the human mind, for the kind of thoughtful science fiction that can permanently alter your perception of the world.
