Solara's Equation: The Seed of Hope

Buy on Amazon

Elisheva Cohen is a brilliant Israeli physicist, raised amid the constant sound of sirens and the unyielding logic of national security. Omar Hassan is a resourceful Palestinian scientist from the West Bank, whose life is marked by checkpoints, scarcity, and the resilience of his people. They come from opposite sides of a wall built on hatred and history, yet they are united by a shared faith: a belief in science’s ability to find order in chaos.

When they meet within the academic halls of MIT, an unlikely friendship is born—and with it, a bold idea: could the principles of complex systems physics be applied to model and understand the dynamics of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict? Thus is born "The Solara Equation", a theoretical model of unprecedented power, capable of identifying hidden "leverage points" and cooperative "countermeasures" that might lead to peace.

But their discovery soon attracts powerful and dangerous attention. A reclusive and enigmatic billionaire, Silas Vance, summons them to a secret laboratory in the Swiss Alps, offering them unlimited resources to perfect their creation—and a near-divine power: the chance to use it.

With the help of an “orchestra” of young scientists from around the globe, Elisheva and Omar are faced with the most difficult choice of all. Their Equation has shown them a path out of hell—but to walk it, they may have to use a tool of mass-scale perception engineering.

What is the price of a peace imposed by the logic of an algorithm? And when you hold the power to neutralize lies, do you become a hero—or the most dangerous manipulator of all? In a world that thrives on conflict, the real battle will not be against an enemy—but for the soul of their own discovery.
