SOLE
SOLE is a 2025 science-fiction novel by German author Lasse zu Lohberg.[1] The novel is written in British English and combines elements of literary and philosophical science fiction, exploring themes of isolation, memory, communication, and human persistence across vast cosmic distances.[2]
The narrative follows parallel storylines set in orbital space infrastructure and on a distant planetary surface, with a black hole functioning as both a physical and symbolic centre of the story.[3]
Plot
SOLE is set in a future shaped by deep-space expansion and long-duration orbital engineering projects. The story alternates between two interconnected narrative strands: one set aboard orbital structures in space, and another on a distant planetary surface far from Earth.[4]
The novel explores the consequences of extreme spatial and temporal separation, focusing on communication delays, memory, and survival in isolated environments. A black hole functions as a central scientific and philosophical motif throughout the narrative.[3]
Publisher descriptions emphasise a contemplative and atmospheric tone, with a focus on existential reflection rather than action-driven science fiction conventions.[2]
Themes
Isolation and distance
A central theme in SOLE is isolation, both physical and psychological. The novel explores the emotional effects of vast interstellar distances and delayed communication systems.[1]
Memory and persistence
The narrative emphasises memory, absence, and continuity over extreme timescales. Characters attempt to preserve identity and meaning under conditions of separation and uncertainty.[3]
Philosophical science fiction
The work is frequently described in retailer summaries as philosophical and literary science fiction, focusing on atmosphere and existential questions rather than action-oriented or military space opera traditions.[2]
Publication
SOLE was published in 2025 through the K:OFJE imprint and distributed by Bookmundo in hardcover and paperback editions.[3]
