When a silent probe from the lost civilization of Paradise breaks its mandate, humanity receives the first two of seven unauthorized transmissions. Their subject is not distant technology, but the foundations beneath every possible future: reality and consciousness.

In this opening volume of Darwin 2.0: On the Destiny of Species, Cang V. Quach and Kendall Rountree introduce Infocosm, a framework that explores information, causality, identity, and the structures that make worlds intelligible. They then examine consciousness through perception, agency, emotion, and the feedback systems that enable an entity to know, choose, and act.

Combining philosophical inquiry, scientific interpretation, and a speculative First Contact narrative, Volume I asks what an intelligent species must understand before it can begin to direct its destiny.
