You think you know your world, right? Taxes, traffic, and the everyday routines that shape your life. It's a world where predictability reigns, where the only constants are corrupt politicians and the ever-looming specter of pollution. But then there's Olivia—a brilliant and determined scientist who suspects something else is below the surface. She firmly believes that the reality surrounding all of us is nothing more than an intricately woven computer simulation. Can you imagine? Everything you perceive, merely a complex web of 1s and 0s. Little does Olivia know, her suspicions are about to be confirmed in the most extraordinary way.

When Alaric, an experienced pilot from the future Earth, begins his final shift in the simulation, he anticipates two things: boredom and donuts. Aware that an eight-hour shift in Base Reality equates to twenty years within the simulation, Alaric prepares for uneventful decades. These simulations were initially devised with a singular purpose—to rescue Earth from impending doom. However, Alaric's expectations of finding a solution to the relentless temporal anomalies tormenting his world are bleak at best.

For eight years, Olivia and Alaric fostered a profound connection as online friends and academic rivals, their bond deepening with each virtual encounter. When their paths finally intertwine at a prestigious physics award ceremony, their connection ignites with an electric spark. As their love blossoms, they must navigate the uncharted territory of their affection, entangled in the shadows of the simulation's imminent demise and the complexities of their unique circumstances.

About the Author

Traditionally these paragraphs are filled with statistics. Kids and pets and so on. But AE is anything but typical, according to one lady 'she's unusual.' Therefore, she'll deviate from the norm. AE's favorite things are fuzzy clothes, desserts, and Mary Jane. Her very core is made of romantic shit, and she rabidly devours anything slightly romantic. A vapid traveler she's lived in over 15 countries and had pizza in every single one of them.
In between moving days (because she moves every 90 days), she writes like a fanatic, reads like she's alone on a desert island, eats like food will suddenly vanish tomorrow, and watches Sailor Moon like it's the only good show ever made.
Media is her Achilles heel, which is probably why so many pop-culture references can be found in her books. Slivers of Infinity is basically an ode to movies and TV. Thankfully, her husband is also fluent in movie-speak. Dinner is never a dull affair in the McRoberts house, not when they can battle in quotes and obscure references.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I do not like green eggs and ham, nor cans of spam, no thank you ma’am.

Pizza, tarts, and cookie dough, plus Mary Jane, I love it so.

Fuzzy clothes are super great, and Sailor Moon I highly rate.

Romance books and movies too, I love that sap I do I do.

I roam the world like a vagabond, mostly in countries across the pond.

I read and watch and eat and play, in one place I never stay.

But most of all I love to write, the highs, the lows, the silly shite.

Romance, adventure, and fantasy, I write because it's part of me.

So now you have the chance to read a wee bit of my latest screed.

I hope you like it, I guess we’ll see, please leave a nice review for me 😉

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sci-fi Romance!

I don’t usually read books with a romantic theme, and read this one because the sci-fi simulation angle caught my eye. It was a really fun read and took the story to some unusual places. Recommended!
