Monument

The impossible, finally achieved. Dr. Charles King has spent his career stumbling onto discoveries he didn't intend, but his latest accident is different: perpetual motion, the dream that has eluded scientists for centuries. Now the question becomes not whether he can do it, but what happens when the world finds out. As fame and scrutiny mount, Dr. King must confront the unintended consequences of having solved an unsolvable problem. The story plays with the archetype of the absent-minded scientist while asking a genuinely unsettling question: what if we got everything we wanted? Sharp, funny, and surprisingly dark for its era, this is 1960s science fiction at its most inventive - a tale that understands how the biggest breakthroughs often come with the smallest warnings.
