One in 4096

What if you were given the chance to ask any question and receive a simple "yes" or "no" answer?

What would you ask?

Would you want to know whether the person you love has been unfaithful? Whether aliens exist? Whether God exists? Or would you choose something more practical—like whether the next spin of the roulette wheel will land on red?

How do you decide what to spend such an opportunity on? And how can you be sure the answer is true? How do you know that whoever gave you this opportunity isn't deceiving you?

Different people would choose different questions: a liberal or a conservative, a believer or an atheist, a professor or a student. No one would waste such a chance without thinking it through, weighing the pros and cons, and convincing themselves that this question—and no other—deserves to be asked.

But when questions begin fighting inside your head for the right to be chosen, can you stay in control? Can you remain rational? Can you choose the right path when your own desires are pulling you in the opposite direction?

Every person is a propagandist—a propagandist for decisions that are often made before they are understood.

And when we tell ourselves, "It's not that simple," are we really searching for objective truth—or…?

One in 4096 is a philosophical psychological novel with elements of mysticism, exploring addiction, responsibility, self-deception, and choice.

Fast-paced and thought-provoking, the novel rewards more than one reading. Carefully arranged details reveal new layers of meaning, both in the story itself and in the ideas beneath it.

The events of a single ambiguous day invite you to see things in a new light.
