Are You the One? a science fiction novel exploring an alternative theory of universal expansion—a multi-fractal where previous instances generate next occurrences in an ever changing but similar neural network, connected at the quantum level to a scalable consciousness, blending the gritty realism of life with metaphysical stakes.
Are You the One? follows Yaiouel “Yo” Elijah Johnson, a young man from Greenville, South Carolina, whose quest to understand a mysterious cosmic hum leads him to uncover a fractal framework connecting human consciousness to the universe. Blending a coming-of-age journey with science fiction, the novel explores themes of connection, loss, and the search for meaning in a fractured world. Yo’s pursuit of a “Theory of the Universe” suggests that minds echo across galaxies, time folds, and humanity’s survival depends on
harmonizing with a cosmic signal.
Yo chases a “theory of the universe”—a fractal vision where past universes spawn new ones, and human consciousness mirrors a vast, humming neural net. As society frays, with people disconnected and minds unraveling, Yo’s off-kilter perception might be the key to tuning humanity back into harmony. Joined by a psych-savvy friend Amelia, a faith-driven ally Zahir, and a haunted ex-Navy drifter Tony, he stumbles from a childhood marked by loss toward a truth that could stitch up a fractured world, —if he can grasp it before it collapses into silence.
Echoes of the Overman
In 2031, the world is still raw from the blue-green flash that once unified humanity in a single heartbeat. Four years later, the miracle is fading. Cities simmer, coherence slips, and the low, bone-deep hum that once saved us has returned—not as savior but posing a question.
Yaiouel Elijah Johnson, Yo to the few who still dare love him, wakes on New Year’s morning with 25 Hz rattling his teeth and his dead father’s voice threading through a lattice of spacetime folds. The signal is no longer a gift. It is an invitation from the black hole at the heart of Andromeda: join the chorus of minds that spans galaxies and eons or lose the right to sing forever.
Echoes of the Overman
With a makeshift family of brilliant misfits: a psychiatrist who can sync heartbeats, a fractal physicist with ancestral fire in her code, an AI ethicist guarding the soul of the machine, a Navy vet nursing a broken heart, and a quantum chemist secretly fracturing the signal for the CIA—Yo chases the hum across Greenland’s glowing ice caves and Antarctica’s obsidian cathedrals. Every step tightens the equations, every betrayal bends the lattice, and every global Hum Day pulls millions (maybe you) into the resonance.
This is not a story about saving the world. This is the story of a species being asked, gently and terribly, to grow up. Science that feels like prophecy. Romance that hurts like real memory. Betrayal sharp enough to cut the cosmic web. And at the center, a man walking the razor’s edge between genius and madness, trying to tune a universe that already knows his name. The hum is calling. The next note is yours. Echoes of the Overman — the standalone sequel to Are You The One? will leave 31 Hz ringing in your chest long after the final page.
