About the Book

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement — the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever." The evening's host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure, and who was one of Langdon's first students at Harvard two decades earlier. Kirsch is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough — one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence.

As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, one Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Moments into the reveal, an assassin shoots Kirsch dead on live television.

Reeling and facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao, together with Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event. The pair flee across Barcelona, guided by Kirsch's AI creation, Winston, and pursued by police who believe Langdon kidnapped the future queen of Spain. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain's Royal Palace itself, and who will stop at nothing to silence Kirsch's message.

Following a trail illuminated by modern art and enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's shocking discovery — and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded humanity. Kirsch's secret turns out to be a simulation proving that life arises naturally, undercutting the idea of divine creation, with the password itself drawn from a line by William Blake about science replacing religion.
