BEFORE SILICON

In 1962, physicist David Mercer develops an experimental computer capable of processing information using quantum principles. The machine is unstable, enormous, and far beyond the technology of its era.

Then it begins predicting events.

At first, the predictions seem harmless. Weather patterns. Market movements. Mechanical failures.

Then the machine predicts the deaths of several people connected to the project.

The laboratory is immediately shut down.

The scientists disappear.

The machine is buried beneath a military facility.

Decades later, engineer Ethan Cole discovers a surviving maintenance log and learns that the computer never stopped operating.

For sixty years, it has been calculating.

And now it has finished its final prediction.

Ethan must uncover what the machine has discovered before the people who built it return to claim their creation.
