Join Aaron H. Arm at Buffalo Street Books for the launch of his debut novel The Artifice of Eternity. There will be a Q&A and signing after the reading.

The Artifice of Eternity is a ruminative sci-fi novel that follows humanity’s attempt to escape Earth’s existential conflicts. 4,000 likeminded colonists reboot civilization on a habitable planet, and yet, even 13 lightyears away in a veritable utopia, these age-old conflicts begin to take root. The present-day narrative follows 3 generations of these interstellar colonists, set in the otherworldly imagery of an alien world. Meanwhile, this narrative is supplemented with an assortment of artifacts from Earth’s past—news articles, speech transcriptions, interviews, and a personally annotated copy of a character’s “Colonial Handbook”—to vary the pacing and provide gradual, innovative exposition.
