The Nine-Edged Mirror, Volume I

A World Where Nothing Happens

Volume I of The Nine-Edged Mirror gathers the first four narratives—Zavražje Reset, Circuit Break, His Name Was Kay, and The Deal—into a singular philosophical arc, tracing the gradual unfolding of Margarita Smolina’s enigmatic worlds.

From the haunting industrial silence of Zavražje to the daring neural experiments of Maxim Podolsky, from the spectral dialogue with Kay to the surreal theatre of The Deal, these narratives intricately intertwine metaphysical inquiry, psychological complexity, and mythic symbolism. Each story unveils a different facet, a new dimension, of the novel’s evolving cosmology.

Infused with elegiac lyricism and philosophical rigour, Volume I is both an intellectual voyage and a poetic journey, serving as a narrative mirrorr that reflects the tensions between science, myth, and the ineffable forces that shape human existence. A World Where Nothing Happens marks the first step towards the full vision of The Molecule of Eternity, offering readers a living, breathing manuscript charged balances intimacy, mystery, and intellectual audacity.

Alongside the narrative chapters, the volume includes exclusive lyrical fragments and essays that will not appear in the final novel.
