A Story of Tectonic Time
By Rohan Vesper
A work of creative non-fiction charting civilisational endurance across deep time — where historical argument meets poetic metaphor, and the long memory of empire is measured against the patience of stone.

Back Cover & Author Biography
Remains asks what it means for a civilisation, a people, or an idea to last — not across a single lifetime, but across the kind of time geology deals in. It moves between historical argument and poetic metaphor, treating deep time and imperial legacy as two ways of asking the same question: what actually remains?
The book closes on a quote page from Ali Shariati, closing the argument on a note of moral clarity rather than resolution.
