When Silence Falls

After an otherworldly energy invades Earth, the world is plunged into absolute silence. All forms of spoken and written communication collapse. No one can speak. No one can write. In the ruins of a once-connected civilization, humanity teeters on the edge of chaos.



In the midst of this crisis, Pei Ran, a determined young woman, embarks on a perilous journey with Agent W—an artificial intelligence encased in a floating metallic sphere. Together, they carry the last vestige of human knowledge: the complete archives of an electronic library containing the cultural and intellectual legacy of mankind.



Their destination: a remote underground shelter where survival is uncertain, trust is fragile, and danger lurks at every turn. As they struggle to stay alive, they must confront the darkest and brightest sides of human nature, the ambiguous role of AI in shaping the future, and the profound question of what remains when words are lost.



Blending gripping suspense, philosophical depth, and moments of unexpected humor, this story explores the fragile bond between humans and machines, and the enduring power of language in the preservation of civilization.
