Fiction - the novel

What if the boundary between science and belief isn’t as clear as we think?

When PhD student Sam Sinclair learns his father has gone missing in Bali, he’s reluctantly drawn into a mystery that spans continents, ideologies, and generations. His father—a controversial psychiatrist—had been developing a radical new theory that blends biology, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Some called it revolutionary. Others called it dangerous.

As Sam digs deeper into the work his father left behind, he uncovers a tangle of academic scandal, religious backlash, and speculative science that could reshape how we understand life itself. Along the way, he’s forced to confront old wounds, lost love, and the quiet lies we tell ourselves in the name of truth.

Fiction is a novel about family and faith, science and identity, and the blurry edge where narrative meets reality. It’s a search story, a psychological mystery, and a meditation on how belief systems—personal, cultural, even scientific—shape the world we see.
