The story of M÷, the science fiction author and counter-hero of the illusion of movement and cast away your dreams of darkness, continues in the final volume of Peter Raposo's trilogy. Is Artificial Intelligence the image of the Beast as described in the Bible? Will the Machine be our last invention? Are reptilian shape shifters living amongst us? Is time travelling possible and are time travellers visiting us now? Or are we just characters in a game? Set at the start of 2023, those who lie will fade and die finds M÷ trying to move on with his life after his latest breakup. Easier said than done. On his journey towards a new life, he's told about an ancient race of snake-like people who have lived among us since the beginning of time and he even meets a time traveller. And as if that wasn't enough, Donald Trump is making a comeback and Steven Seagal is teaching martial arts to troops in Russia. Maybe Musk is right and we're living in a computer simulation, forever bound to repeat the mistakes of the past.
