"The people who left us behind when they departed—the people we left behind when we departed—what if we could FaceTime them? Or better yet, go see them." —Max North, Call Me Daedalus

Architect Max North obsessed about the Past and the Future.
But not about the Mortal Spiral of Time.
A different dimension: the Immortal Labyrinth of Place . . .
He lost someone.
And he won’t stop looking until he finds them.

In this epic sci-fi thriller, Michelangelo A. Roland Slate summons the supernatural tale of Max North and his improbable, perilous quest through the Meta-Labyrinth of the World.

With the help of his AI supermentor Daedalus—the mythical architect of the Labyrinth and Wings—Max stakes everything on the creation of an Interplanar Place Machine.

His only chance to cross the boundaries that separate the HereBefore, the Here, and the HereAfter to reunite with a loved one before time runs out.

An avant-garde graphic novel forged from a fusion of NI (Natural Intelligence) and AI—a synthesis M.A.R.S. calls ZI: Zeno Intelligence—Call Me Daedalus serves as the prelude to a screenplay titled:
