Description
When interplanetary miners uncover an alien relic beneath the surface of Mars, physicist Lance Kattar is offered a chance to take part in what many of his contemporaries believe is most important discovery in history: a device containing nanotech far beyond human capabilities, left behind by an ancient civilization, long since extinct. The moment Lance interacts with this device, however, he triggers a series of cataclysmic events that threaten the very fabric of existence. Aided by a group of survivors, Lance embarks on a desperate race to unravel the mystery of the ancient artifact from Mars, before it collapses into a singularity of world-ending possibilities.

Artifact was written out of love of science and science-fiction. In the same way The Matrix attempted to look at the epistemological snare of reality - and how we ultimately determine what is real, and what isn't - Artifact looks at blending the post-apocalyptic story, such as Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later, with mind teasing, claustrophobic narratives such as Memento, Inception, and Dark City. It's a genre bender, connected by a common theme: reality is nothing more than the sum of our dreams.
