With Earth on the brink of total annihilation, can a new universal
language unite the world enough to save it? It’s 2422 and the
world’s governing mathematicians have calculated that society’s
struggles with rampant war and homicide have put humanity on a
crash-course with extinction. With an estimated fifteen months left
until humankind’s total annihilation, the World Council of
Mathematicians (WCM) determine the only way out of the crisis is to
create the optimum language for humans, creating common
understanding across all cultures and allowing them to work
together for their joint salvation. Â The WCM and Charles De
Costa, a brilliant mathematics student, must rely on LIFT, a
scientific breakthrough that allows them to enlist the aid of the
greatest minds in history, to create this new world language based
on mathematics, linguistics, and music. Can the great minds of the
past help lead humanity to a better future? Can this
new language be created in time? Or will society’s continued evil
and miscommunication lead the world to an inevitable end?
