Academia often claims to possess a higher understanding of the truth.
But how can I present facts when I know so little about a world
that transcends humanity in countless ways?
This work is about the apocalypse—
or rather, its aftermath.
It is set in a time when the great questions of humanity
have become obsolete.
When there are no fish left in the oceans,
no ice at the poles,
and the deserts have overtaken the land—
if you look closely enough at the sand,
you will see:
The apocalypse will not come as an inferno,
but as an indescribably large collection of seashells.
