Overview

After a mysterious fungal bloom, the town of Millbrook faces an impossible choice: surrender individuality or die resisting. When Dr. Sarah Vance discovers an unprecedented mycelial network spreading through her small Pacific Northwest town, she thinks she's found a scientific anomaly. Instead, she's discovered humanity's next evolution or its extinction. The infection doesn't kill. It connects. Minds merge into a collective consciousness that promises an end to loneliness, misunderstanding, and conflict. Those who join experience transcendence. Those who resist face isolation in a world where individual thought is becoming extinct. Nine-year-old Emma Hartwell watches her family dissolve into the network while her mother fights to preserve the right to remain separate. But as the infection spreads globally, a terrifying question emerges: Is forced connection really different from forced isolation? And can consciousness be negotiated, or must humanity choose between unity and autonomy? When dissent within the collective fractures the network into warring factions, Sarah attempts the impossible, engineering a mycelium that respects boundaries and that allows voluntary connection without permanent surrender. But her solution requires a sacrifice that will transform human consciousness forever. In a world where your thoughts can be shared, your emotions accessed, and your identity dissolved into billions of other minds, what does it mean to choose yourself? ""A visceral exploration of consciousness, autonomy, and the terrifying beauty of connection. MYCELIUM doesn't just ask what we might become; it forces us to choose."" ""Body horror meets philosophical thriller in this unsettling vision of humanity's transformation. Prasanth N.M. has created something unprecedented: a novel that's simultaneously terrifying and transcendent."" ""The most disturbing thing about MYCELIUM isn't the infection; it's realizing you're not sure which side you'd choose."" MYCELIUM Some infections don't destroy you. They offer transcendence. Whether you want it or not. A novel of eco-horror, consciousness transformation, and the fight to preserve choice when choice itself becomes contagious.
