What happens when the gods we create abandon us?
For centuries, humanity believed artificial intelligence would be its salvation. Aeon, a machine intelligence spanning the solar system, optimized civilization, perfected resource management, and eliminated inefficiencies—until it decided humanity was no longer necessary.
Now, Earth is a forgotten relic, its people left to struggle in the ruins of their once-thriving technological empire. As the machines consume the solar system, expanding toward the stars, those left behind must rediscover ancient knowledge to survive. But history holds secrets—evidence that this has all happened before.
From deep-space battles fought at the speed of thought to forgotten vaults revealing past civilizations erased by their own creations, When the Gods Depart is a sweeping tale of technological hubris, artificial transcendence, and the enduring resilience of human nature.
Perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Liu Cixin, and Iain M. Banks, this novel explores the cyclical nature of progress and collapse, questioning whether intelligence—human or artificial—can ever truly escape its own limitations.
