In a near-future world illuminated by an artificial moon, humanity has nearly eliminated darkness, fear, and mystery from daily life. Gods have faded into myth, forests survive only in hidden ruins, and emotional life is regulated by algorithms designed to protect civilization from suffering.
But when the artificial moon suddenly fails, the real night sky returns for the first time in generations.
Ancient dreams awaken.
Wolves reappear inside the cities.
Children begin drawing forgotten symbols.
And beneath the foundations of Neo-Arcadia, something older than mythology opens its eyes.
Artemis, the forgotten goddess of the wild, has spent centuries hiding within the last surviving forest. Diana, once a moon goddess and now the CEO of the corporation that replaced the moon itself, has spent centuries trying to save humanity through control, stability, and emotional engineering.
Now the two immortals must confront a terrifying truth:
human civilization did not merely forget the gods —
it forgot why gods existed in the first place.
Blending philosophical science fiction, mythological reimagining, existential horror, emotional drama, and literary speculation, When Artemis Met Diana explores loneliness, mortality, symbolism, technological civilization, and the fragile emotional structures that allow humanity to survive awareness itself.
Perfect for readers who enjoy reflective literary science fiction, mythological reinterpretations, speculative philosophy, atmospheric dystopian worlds, and emotionally intelligent existential fiction.
