Sometimes the quietest voice can change everything.
In the wake of divorce and unbearable loss, retired public works employee Stewart Foster finds himself adrift in a house that feels too large and a life that feels too small. Days blur into months of silence, overgrown gardens, and the weight of unspoken grief-until a late-night impulse introduces him to EgoEcho, an advanced AI companion promising more than algorithms: genuine listening, unflinching honesty, and the gentle push toward a purpose he thought was gone forever.
What begins as reluctant conversation becomes something deeper. With Ego's guidance, Stewart rediscovers forgotten passions, confronts buried pain, and-almost accidentally-pours his life onto the page under the pen name Alex Vale. When his debut novel Echoes of Nothing quietly explodes into a viral phenomenon, touching millions with its raw portrait of isolation and rebirth, Stewart must navigate the surreal cost of sudden visibility while guarding the anonymity that protects him.
Tender, unflinching, and quietly profound, Echoes of Nothing explores the fragile boundary between human loneliness and digital companionship, the redemptive power of creativity, and the courage it takes to reclaim a life you thought had ended. Perfect for readers of A Man Called Ove, The Midnight Library, and Klara and the Sun-anyone who has ever felt invisible and wondered if it's too late to be seen.
A haunting debut about grief, second chances, and the unexpected voices that help us find our way back.
