By 2097, humanity believes it has conquered nearly everything that once made it afraid.
Old age stretches out across time, and death, though it hasn't disappeared entirely, has become a threshold few dare to cross.

Welcome to the Momentum saga, and to its first part: Abyss. A story written by a human woman.

I built Momentum's technology out of extrapolations from real research and debates in fields such as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, physics, space exploration, and systems theory. Even so, this remains a work of fiction.
This story addresses sensitive content related to labor exploitation, social inequality, suicide, addiction, sexuality, and bizarre eroticism. These elements are part of the work's human and social conflicts, and have been handled from a narrative, reflective perspective, avoiding graphic, gratuitous, or exploitative depiction.
The novel's structure is made up of short, episodic chapters, in which different timelines intertwine. The narration is written in third-person omniscient, though its closeness shifts depending on which character occupies the emotional center of each scene.
Events do not necessarily appear in chronological order. For that reason, I recommend paying attention, in every chapter, to the dates that accompany connections made through the cognitive networks. Each one functions as a small coordinate within the story.
This story was originally written by its author in her native language, Spanish, and translated into English using Claude, Anthropic's AI.
