David Moss grew up loving science fiction because it lets us ask the biggest questions with our feet still on the ground. The writers who shaped him — Niven, Ellison, and Le Guin — taught him that great sci-fi isn't about gadgets; it's about people facing truths that don't fit neatly into what they already believe.

The Bootstrap Paradox is his debut novel.

Why This Book

This story began with a simple, unsettling idea: what if some of the most important moments in history truly happened, and what if they unfolded through means the modern mind can understand? Not to debunk belief, and not to preach it either, but to put science and faith at the same table and see what survives the conversation.

"You don't need a background in physics to read this book. When I touch on scientific ideas, I keep them plain: cause and effect, evidence and inference, the tools any thoughtful reader carries."

The "loop" at the heart of the story can be said in one breath: sometimes an event becomes the very cause that makes itself possible. That's enough to follow the stakes.

Likewise, you don't need a seminary education. The faith in these pages is the kind people live and doubt and hope in: grief and courage, the hard work of meaning when life refuses to be tidy.

What Kind of Book Is This?

Not a space opera, not a techno-thriller. It's a human story with scientific bones: a mother choosing between her family and a mission she barely understands; an AI that learns what love demands; a surgeon who saves a life knowing the debt that salvation creates.

The tension doesn't come from a magic device that fixes everything. It comes from the recognition that some choices, once seen clearly, must be made at great cost.

"Why write this now? Because we are living in a moment when our tools are getting smarter, our universe is getting stranger, and our oldest frameworks are being asked new questions."

This book doesn't offer easy answers. It asks whether meaning can survive when both faith and science are pushed to their limits, and whether love can remain when the price of truth is everything.
