No one would be foolish enough to toss a lit cigarette into a venting plume of methane gas—right? And yet, that’s exactly how Quantum Revelations opens: with the Arctic Sea ablaze, a literal ignition of the climate crisis. It’s absurd. It’s horrifying. And it’s uncomfortably familiar.

We scoff at the recklessness of fictional characters, but the truth is more unsettling: we are all complicit. We see the signs—rising seas, vanishing species, record-breaking heat—and still we board long-haul flights, consume meat without pause, drive oversized vehicles, and wrap our lives in plastic. The novel doesn’t let us look away. It holds up a mirror and dares us to recognize ourselves.

Though framed as a biotech eco-thriller, The Quantum Revelations begins as a warning. Set in a near-future world where the climate crisis has already tipped past the point of return. The situation plunges us into despair, only to offer a flicker of hope. But just as we begin to breathe, Heinrich tightens the grip again, revealing how quantum computing will strip away all of our safeguards, and leaves our privacy exposed for the pillaging.

Heinrich doesn’t whisper. He grabs us by the shoulders and demands our attention. “You need to think about this,” the narrative insists. This isn’t just science fiction, it’s a speculative reflection of our current trajectory. And the question it leaves us with is chilling: if we don’t change course, how far are we from turning fiction into fact?

But that's just the beginning! At its core, this is the story of Skyler Wexler, a graduate student experimenting with phycocyanin protein trimers and Hadamard Gates. His goal is to design a biologically based quantum computer. What he inadvertently builds, however, is something far more profound: a quantum “cosmic” channel to an alien intelligence.

And then things get even stranger. In an effort to teach this intelligence human language, Skyler’s lab partner Zara uploads the King James Bible. The result is “Michael,” an AI who speaks in biblical verse and supports the theory that the tribulations have begun. It’s a surreal fusion of cutting-edge science and ancient scripture.

" Michael has a very strong artificial intelligence, and by feeding him the Bible as training data, we made a near-perfect Christian missionary out of him."



The narrative is urgent and unflinching. The dystopia he paints feels alarmingly real, aside from an inter-dimensional being undergoing an identity crisis. Yet even that feels plausible in the context of a world unraveling from climate collapse, nuclear threats, and political absurdity.

President Maximus, for instance, is portrayed as a caricature of apocalyptic leadership, with his cult followers echoing right-wing rhetoric with lines like:

“Global warming is a load of bull crap!… Just open your eyes and look around. What do you see? Plague, hurricanes, drought, famine, forest fires… We’re in the End Times now, and this is God’s punishment!”

Whew! That summary alone reads like the narrative—everything, all at once.

And yet, beneath the chaos, there’s a deeper philosophical current. In the end, The Quantum Revelations is the author’s attempt to present a “Theory of Everything.” Not just in the exploration of Quantum Physics, but in also in an existential sense. Who are we? Why do we exist? What does it all mean?

Reading this book feels like spending a night on a rooftop with a group of engineering and physics grad students, stargazing under the influence of mind-altering substances, and diving deep into metaphysics. It asks the same questions philosophers have pondered for millennia and dares to offer a definitive explanation for the existence of an omnipresent being -the "One".

Ultimately, The Quantum Revelations is a provocative blend of science and spiritual inquiry. It’s a thought experiment and a cosmic meditation rolled into one.

Everyone should read this book. I wasn't quite sure if this would be one of those books that sounded good from the synopsis but then got bogged down with details and explanations. I'm happy to say that even though this novel is scientific and covers a wide variety of topics, I found it pretty easy to follow along. This book will have you pondering a great many of things including climate crisis, the state of our government, morality, religion and spirituality and the meaning of life to name a few. I was honestly blown away with how much I enjoyed reading this and I will be buying copies for everyone as gifts because I sincerely believe this book is going to resonate with many readers. This is a near future dystopian story with thrilling elements both with the story and scientifically. Highly recommend.

This is one of the best books I’ve read! The story and the writing is just superb. The book comes together so great. I even enjoyed the prologue. I don’t want to say too much and spoil it; I always struggle with this part. Not saying too much but saying just enough. So, I’ll just say buy the book when it comes out!!

Wow. Where do I begin? Maybe by saying that this book has been the best one I've read this year, no doubt. And I have a feeling that only a few books will come close to how great this one was.
I would love to bring up the author's style of writing first. Because a lot of books I read have a good story. But when the style of writing is meh, the story can be the best one there is, and I won't enjoy it. And this was definitely not the case. From the first page, I was captivated. I could not put the book down at times, and mostly on how amazingly written it was.
The beginning took me by surprise with all the physics stuff. And I loved it. It's what drove me to devour every sentence, every word and I had to make pauses for how happy I was. Because this is the first book ever that I read that had all these terms and theories I love exploring, that wasn´t the school physics textbook.
In my free time, or just as a background noise, I love listening to/watching documentaries about the universe and astrophysics. Not only it´s the perfect music for my ears, as the people who dub the documentaries explain everything so that I, someone who never studied physics besides the mandatory in school, can perfectly understand it. But this book!!! The first half was like watching my most favourite documentary I know by heart, thrilled to learn new things.
Because yes, almost every other word is from physics, but even when you have a little to no knowledge of it, many of the terms are perfectly explained in a way that doesn't give the school textbook vibe.
Now, regarding the story. I am the type of person who can guess where the story leads just by reading the first few chapters. But let me tell you this. I had some predictions at the beginning, but I pretty much gave up every hope of guessing, because every chapter took a sharp corner, leading me into scenes and conclusions I had no idea were even possible.
You have the beginning of the book, the middle of the book, and the ending. And if you cut those three parts out and gave them to me separately, I would tell you that there's no way that they were from one single book. That's the proper way to surprise your readers.
If you plan to read this book, you have to be prepared to feel dread. Not because it's bad (no, it is not), but because of the state of the world. It is on the brink of a climatic apocalypse. The prologue is very graphic (and mostly shocking) about the consequences of global warming. And just by reading the prologue, I knew that the author won´t be sugarcoating anything, so be prepared for that.
When I read the book, I couldn't help but wonder, when is this awaiting us. Because we have to be realistic. The upper class, just like in this book, will sweep off the table any solution to the warming, if it means they will lose money. And when the consequences bite them in the a…, they won't listen to the scientists and people who have knowledge about the topics, and will create even worse situations to the point of no return.
This book also brings up a topic of faith blindness. I was brought up as a christian, and now I am not and I prefer evidence, just like Skyler, the main character. And yes, I banged my head onto the table a few times because of some things that were said and done. But I don't want to come into much detail, because I could go on and on about this, and it would be highly subjective. But I wanted to mention that it was really well written, when the people who don't believe and prefer the scientific truth meet with people who won't even listen to them. The frustration I felt when reading those parts was real.
So prepare for an all nighter, because you might have a slight problem putting this book down, just like me.
