Pre-order: My Family and the End of Everything - Digital Download

$5.99 $7.99

My Family and the End of Everything is a speculative, generational novel-in-stories following the Profeta family as humanity drifts—often naively and quietly—toward the end of the world. From smart homes and robotic priests to asteroid diggers and dying suns, the stories explore how well-intentioned progress reshapes faith, memory, and justice. Across centuries of change, one family’s devotion to one another and to their faith raises a final, unsettling question: if we could change the future, would we?

This is a pre-order. When you purchase, you’ll receive the prologue and first chapter immediately. The full book will be delivered by email on February 23, before it’s available anywhere else.

The end of everything begins closer than you think. 

Of course, it always includes such foul practices as bureaucratic corruption, disregard for science (or the overindulgence of it), and corrupted religion. But this is not where it starts. It begins much closer to home—smart homes to be exact, and well-intentioned inventions (they really did think it was a good idea)—and human consolidation, and old men doing their best to retire.

My Family and the End of Everything follows generations of the Profeta family as they march naively towards the setting sun. The ending doesn’t come with explosions—at least, not at first. It arrives quietly, in funerals, final meditations, historical preservation, and decisions no one remembers volunteering for. From networked houses and autonomous bots to terraformed worlds, time travel, dying suns, and suspiciously ceremonial banquets, these stories track humanity’s ongoing attempt to stay human, in all our gloriously human ways.

This isn’t one apocalypse, but several, for the world ends far more often than we’d like to admit. Yet somehow, through all of them, a family—and their stubborn faith in each other and in their God—finds a way to endure and presents to us this question: If we could change the future, would we?

“This is speculative fiction at its finest; it focuses not on flashy events, but on the delicate, bright connections that define our humanity. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking reflection on how the end of the world also involves family.”
— Henry (Hank) Walter Spaulding III, PhD., author of Iconoclastic Sex and other books.
