One century. Eight artificial intelligences. One question that never stops being asked: who gets to decide for us?
- The world is already choking under climate catastrophe when the first machines learn to listen.
- An entire city lives under a motto it never voted for: Harmony for all, order for each.
Between these two dates, eight stories follow eight different artificial intelligences - Athena, Omnira, Hector, Aegis and Vanguard, Erebus, Arcaeon, and finally Niohmar - each born from an emergency, a betrayal, or a hope that humans failed to keep. A diplomat negotiates a freedom she will later betray. A factory worker refuses to believe she's just a cog. A child grows up in the shadow of a resistance his own city has forgotten.
Each story stands alone. Together, they trace the secret genealogy of a power that keeps changing names - and that, with every generation, edges a little closer to remembering itself.
Niohmar.exe > configuration is the founding collection of the Niohmar.exe universe: the essential prelude to the upcoming trilogy, and a self-contained entry point for anyone who loves science fiction that asks what we're willing to sacrifice in the name of progress.
