In a world saturated with information, how do you ensure your life truly matters? "Existential Footprint" offers a compelling answer: by consciously shaping your “Global Truth Impact” (GTI). This innovative concept measures the value and scale of your work’s influence across four interconnected domains: science, culture, economy, and the physical world.

This book explores how the pursuit of truth within these areas creates an “Existential Footprint” — a lasting legacy that resonates through generations. More than just a guide to success, "Existential Footprint" is a call to action, urging you to discover your unique truth and leave an indelible mark on the world.

Dr. Adrian Kessler is on the verge of a breakthrough. His revolutionary gene-editing therapy promises to preserve and enhance cognitive function, offering new hope for neurodegenerative diseases. But when funding runs out, he is forced to accept an offer from Prometheus Biotech, an enigmatic research institute with resources beyond his imagination.

At first, the results exceed expectations. The therapy doesn’t just slow cognitive decline—it amplifies human intelligence, sharpening memory, logic, and perception. But soon, the side effects become impossible to ignore. The patients begin thinking differently—hyper-rational, emotionally detached, eerily synchronized.

Then, without warning, they connect.

The 2049 Congress is a work of political anticipation, an immersive speculative fiction that imagines the discreet but radical shift in the world order. In a world that has become multipolar, multiplex and mycelial, traditional institutions like the UN are being circumvented rather than abolished.
