Waiting for Fireworks

By Lyle Hoffman

Available as an ebook on Amazon, this novel concerns a long-lived artificial intelligence struggling to survive many astrophysical challenges culminating in the collision of the Milky Way with the Andromeda galaxy. The science hews as close to truth as possible, with plausible extrapolations into regimes where we do not yet have experimental guidance. Only the characters and particular events are fictional.
