Mikroists

Mikroists are a fictional group originating from the science fiction novel "The Chronoliths" by Robert Charles Wilson. They are a group of individuals who believe they have a unique connection to the "chronoliths," massive, enigmatic structures that appear suddenly throughout history. Mikroists perceive the chronoliths as markers or signals left by an advanced alien civilization, and they interpret their presence as evidence of an impending, transformative event for humanity.

The group is characterized by a blend of scientific curiosity and a quasi-religious fervor surrounding the chronoliths. They dedicate themselves to studying the structures, analyzing their patterns, and attempting to decipher their purpose. This pursuit often leads them to fringe theories and unconventional interpretations of historical events. While some might view them as cult-like, their motivations stem from a genuine desire to understand humanity's place in the cosmos and prepare for what they believe is an inevitable, profound change. Their actions are often driven by a sense of urgency and a conviction that they are among the few who truly grasp the significance of the chronoliths' appearance.
