What if a quantum tectonic event split our reality?
So
that different versions of ourselves appeared from an alternate
universe, to show us what our lives could have been had we made
different choices, or what we might become, should we change our
behaviour right now?
As Werner Heisenberg said,
‘Atoms
or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of
potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts.’
What
if our lives were made up of infinite possibilities, all of which were
happening simultaneously, until the observer – you – decided to pin one
down? One choice, one life.
In
my latest novel, Split Symmetry, I explore all of these questions – and
more – against the exciting backdrop of a mysterious Italian mountain
range. Find out what happens when Dr Elena Lewis and a group of her
friends become embroiled in the worst earthquake the region has known
mixed up with a quantum event that changes their lives for ever.
How
do they escape? Can Elena save her friends? Can she save herself? And
when she crosses into a reality she cannot conceive of, what does she
make of it?
Set in the near future, Split Symmetry [getBook.at/SplitSymmetry] is
the story of what happens when a hike in the notorious Gran Sasso
mountain range in central Italy descends into chaos on the same night
that scientists decide to work on a clandestine experiment in a lab
beneath the mountain. Dr Elena Lewis must work around the clock to find
members of her group who have become lost on the mountain, but just as
she is close to finding them, the region is rocked by one of the worst
earthquakes central Italy has ever known.

Arcadio has written three novels, each with a different speculative
theme. Her first novel, Borderliners, was published in February of this
year with the second in the series, Split Symmetry, to be published in

a part-time poet, digital communications nerd and frazzled head of an
Anglo-Italian family.
After
working for over fifteen years in digital communications, she returned
to her twin first loves, literature and philosophy, in 2011.
She’s passionate about the big questions in life and how these can be
explored using speculative fiction.
When
she’s not writing she’s obsessing about Sci Fi or Nordic noir.
She loves all things Italian, including her husband, and she once taught
English in the Italian senate.
