In a world shattered by the Shift—a daily, 47-minute psychic flood where all human emotion is shared and no mind is private—empathy is no longer a gift. It's a weapon, a plague, and a battleground. Twelve-year-old Brent Lowell learns this when a perfect, logical despair from a stranger's mind consumes his high-fidelity sister, Elara. Her death by perfect understanding brands him forever. Years later, Brent is a haunted young man building makeshift shelters from stolen tech, desperately trying to wall out the storm. Dr. Elianore Quasar is the disgraced scientist who predicted the Shift's next, terrifying evolution: it's beginning to move the body, not just the heart. Thrown out by the very institute that should listen, she has nowhere to turn. Hunted by the Elyria Institute—which seeks to "cure" empathy with a neural-genetic lobotomy—and seduced by the Weavers, a cult that promises peace through blissful, mindless unity, Brent and Eli are forced together. They represent the only fragile third path: not to fight the storm or join it, but to build a beacon of stable selfhood within it. From the flooded ruins of a garbage scow to a hidden library in the scarred badlands, they race to construct the Dial—a network to give humanity a choice. But they are pursued by the coldly pragmatic surgeon, Dr. Sofia Patel, who would amputate empathy to save the species; by Silas, the Weaver prophet weaving a tapestry of compelled unity; and by Ari, the enigmatic Null—a being of perfect, logical silence who views all emotion as a contagious error to be studied and, perhaps, erased. Beneath a Glass Sky is a relentless sci-fi thriller about the trauma of connection, the violence of peace, and the desperate fight to preserve the messy, beautiful, and painful right to your own mind. In a war for the soul of consciousness, the most radical weapon is not a stronger signal, but the right to choose your own frequency.
