In the year 2275, humanity captures an undecodable data packet from deep space. It is not a greeting, but an astonishing "blueprint for physics." As he tries to unravel this "gift" from the depths of the cosmos, he realizes that what he faces is not the wisdom of an alien civilization, but the universe's most fundamental law of physics: the law of conservation of information. Each successful interpretation brings humanity one step closer to technology capable of rewriting reality, and one step closer to the truth behind the extinction of the previous civilization. The true crisis will not come from the stars, but from knowledge itself.
