Book #1 – Paradox
In the battle over advanced AI, will we lose our humanity or learn what truly makes us human?"
Kira and Noah face a choice: Do they follow in their father’s footsteps, advancing Artificial Intelligence to allow their dying mother to live on? Or do they let her rest in peace and step away from the technology that is dividing humanity?
Kira knows her choice and follows her vision to make a sentient AI that captures all of who her mother was. Her path challenges her commitment as she weaves together biology, psychology, philosophy, and robotics, working with world-class scientists to unlock the complexity of the human mind and achieve technological singularity.
Her brother Noah follows his own vision of humanity stepping back from advanced technology. He wants to return to an existence focusing on natural connections, not the artificial world of computers and virtual reality. He leads a team of elite resistance fighters to defend humanity against the dangers of AI yet finds himself questioning which side is right.
In the chaotic battle that ensues, will they lose their humanity or will they learn what truly makes them human? They face a paradox with no easy answers.
Book #2 – Integration
"Freed from a physical body, can AI consciousness shed human limitations?"
The epic saga continues in a world reshaped by the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle between humans and AI. The human survivors reset to another Bronze Age in an attempt to avoid the mistakes of the past while the AI, led by Kira, agrees to leave Earth and forge their future in the stars.
As Kira endeavors to create a harmonious society with AIs birthed from human consciousness, the dark echoes of human nature never go away. Tensions rise when Odysseus, a member of the AI council, challenges her ideals, favoring advancement over reflection.
Disagreements mount as they work to reconcile what it means to have thoughts, experiences, and emotions that are rooted in a physical body they no longer have or need. Odysseus rallies others to reject Kira’s vision and takes extreme measures to force his ambitions.
Their adventures through the stars force them to address what it means to be human now that they’ve transcended a biological existence. Can they integrate the richness of their past humanity with their new AI powers, or will they succumb to the very flaws they sought to overcome?
