Cosmic Error : The Only Real Abduction: A Satire on Truth and Our Irresistible Need to Believe - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Thomas Whitaker is thirty-eight years old, holds a steady job at the University of Pennsylvania archives, and lives a life as neatly filed as the boxes he handles every day. He has spent his career sorting other people's stories into folders. He never expected to become one himself.

Then, one October night, something happens to him — something he can't prove and can't fully explain. As an archivist, Thomas knows better than anyone what a reliable account looks like, so he does the only thing that makes sense to him: he writes down exactly what happened, with no embellishment and no speculation.

That turns out to be his first mistake.

Because the moment his story goes public, Thomas discovers that precision doesn't win people over — it makes them suspicious. The less he exaggerates, the more he's accused of hiding something. Podcasts, talk shows, and online forums all want a bigger story than the one he's telling, and Thomas is about to learn just how far people will go to get it.

Cosmic Error is a sharp, funny, and quietly unsettling satire about truth in the age of narrative — a novel that asks what happens when the facts are inconvenient, and the myth is so much easier to believe.
