What happens when ambition, love, and curiosity collide with the power to change the world? In Notes on Infinity, Austin Taylor crafts a gripping tale about two Harvard students who discover a potential cure for aging, which catapults them into the intoxicating world of biotech startups, fame, and moral uncertainty. In Lightbreakers, Aja Gabel explores the fragility of human connection and the weight of grief as a physicist, his wife, and his ex confront the past through a groundbreaking scientific experiment that alters the fabric of time. Both novels illuminate the exhilaration and peril of invention, the ethics of pushing boundaries, and the personal costs of knowing the unknowable.
