The Story
It's just a message, right? Daubed on walls, trending on socials, appearing in every language in every country all over the world and always reading the same. Nobody knows where it originated — only that it can't be ignored.
And then, in the blink of an eye, everything changes. Activated alien DNA, long buried within each and every one of us, transforms the majority of the human race. Cities are abandoned. Civilisation discarded. Suddenly, we're not humans anymore — we're Lonely No More.
Or most of us are. For those still unactivated and “lonely”, it's now about learning to survive in the ruins of an unwanted and terrifying world.
Among the survivors are Nikesh, who sees an opportunity to cash in on the chaos, and his fiancée Nina, a doctor who joins a research team investigating the outbreak. As the world around them fractures, their relationship — and their humanity — is tested in ways neither could have imagined.
