In the fifth book of the Robert Langdon series, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon arrives at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, to attend a major presentation by his former student, Edmond Kirsch. Kirsch, a futurist and tech billionaire, has made a groundbreaking scientific discovery that promises to answer two of humanity’s biggest questions:
- Where do we come from?
- Where are we going?
Just as Kirsch is about to reveal his findings to the world, he is assassinated on stage, throwing the event into chaos. With Kirsch’s secret at risk of being lost forever, Langdon teams up with Ambra Vidal, the museum’s director and the fiancée of Spain’s Crown Prince. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest across Spain, following clues hidden in modern art, architecture, and religious symbols.
Their search is aided by Winston, Kirsch’s advanced artificial intelligence, but they are pursued by powerful enemies, including religious extremists and shadowy government forces. As Langdon deciphers the final clues, he uncovers a shocking revelation about human evolution, science, and faith—one that could change the course of history forever.
With fast-paced action, scientific discoveries, and historical intrigue, Origin explores the intersection of technology, religion, and the future of humanity in a gripping thriller.
