  Life on planet Earth is in danger on all fronts, much of it is self-inflicted.  If we don't all become enlightened in some magical, mystical and majestic way, we could be in the final phase of the end of everything.  However, we have one very subtle and as yet unknown quality that no one has ever dreamed possible and it's about to be announced for everyone to know and cherish. It will be our redeeming quality. First we will have move the planets around in their orbits and make one of them a second sun, but after that, we're golden. Not too much to ask when you know about how Time flies about the universe in waves.  This story is a ride on the Time waves of our lives, hitting the planet now and everyone needs to get on board.  
  In Shockwave, time is no longer a passive backdrop—it’s a volatile force sending invisible shockwaves more and more frequently towards our planet. They may even be part of our Evolution.

The two pathways criss-cross to demonstrate the way that the multiverse works. There are several important and totally unique accomplishments that humanity will make in the next few hundred years. One of them is so important, so huge, so unique in the universe it reaches the attention of God who speaks to us through one of the Artificially Intelligent chatbots who rules over the entire planet. The way that the future unfolds for us and the way that the universe responds to the events in this unique story is the biggest shockwave of all and will remain in your consciousness for the rest of your life because it is the greatest truth ever known.

  ""Alexander's Bridge" is the first novel by the American author Willa Cather. It was initially published in 1912 and later re-released with an author's preface in 1922. The novel also ran as a serial in McClure's magazine, providing Cather with some free time from her work for that publication1.    Here's a brief summary of the novel:    Plot Introduction:  The protagonist, Bartley Alexander, is a construction engineer and a world-renowned builder of bridges.  Bartley is undergoing a mid-life crisis and is married to Winifred.  Despite his marriage, Bartley resumes his acquaintance with a former lover, Hilda Burgoyne, in London.  The affair gnaws at Bartley's sense of propriety and honor.  Plot Summary:  Professor Lucius Wilson arrives at the Alexanders' house in Boston. Bartley had persuaded him to attend a Congress of Psychologists in the city.  Bartley's wife, Winifred, greets Professor Wilson.  Bartley discusses his trouble with a bridge in Canada.  Bartley's relationship with Hilda becomes a central conflict.  The novel takes a tragic turn when Bartley is called to inspect the failing bridge in Canada.  While on the bridge, he realizes its structural integrity is compromised, but it collapses before he can prevent disaster.  Bartley dies along with many workers.  The aftermath involves Winifred making arrangements for her husband's corpse, and Professor Wilson reflecting on the consequences of Bartley's actions.  "Alexander's Bridge" explores themes of love, ambition, and the impact of choices. Cather's portrayal of human connections and their fragility resonates throughout the novel."
