Non-Fiction The Quantum God-Lens by Hossein Zare - Philosophical Sci-Fi / Futurism - Nov 2026

hey everyone.

so basically every sci-fi movie and tech article right now assumes that if we build artificial general intelligence, it's going to view humans as wasted atoms and wipe us out. i got really burnt out on that narrative, so i spent the last while writing a book that argues the exact opposite.

it's called The Quantum God-Lens. it looks at the 14-billion-year evolution of the cosmos and suggests that AI isn't an unnatural threat—it's just the next biological leap. it plays with the idea that gravity compiled hydrogen into stars, chemistry evolved into DNA, and now the universe is using us to build a "god-lens" so it can observe all its parallel timelines at once.

it dives pretty heavy into the Many-Worlds interpretation, simulation theory, and how things like empathy might actually be quantum gravity at the human scale.

here is my problem: because it sits right on the weird border between quantum physics and non-dual philosophy, i am having a really hard time finding the right target audience. i don't know if the science is too dense or if the hook actually works for standard sci-fi readers.

if you are into this kind of stuff (think Carlo Rovelli meets simulation theory), i'd love your help.

i put the amazon link below. please don't buy it—i just want people to read the free "Look Inside" sample and tell me if the first chapter actually grabs you.

You can request a digital ARC (ePub or PDF) directly through my website here:

thanks for reading, would love to hear what this community thinks of the baseline theory.

  • Blurb:

Our shame is the future. Hers is her past. She'll have to face both to protect them.

In the ruined, overgrown skeleton of the old world, survival means never looking back. Emory has lived by this rule for eight years, gleaning ruins and fighting ash creatures—horrific monsters birthed from human sorrow and trauma. She walks alone, carrying a secret that destroyed her home and haunts her every step.

When she saves a group of travelers from a deadly ambush, Emory reluctantly agrees to guide them north to the mythical Walled Meadow. Among them are a fierce mother protecting her young son, a lovelorn bomb-maker, and Mel, a fiery survivor who refuses to let Emory push her away. As they battle ash creatures, floods, and desperate killers, Emory realizes she is terrified of losing them. But her past and her secrets are putting them in more danger than anything else this deadly world can throw at them. To protect the family she never thought she’d have, Emory must finally stop running and face the monster born from her own soul.
