A garbled noise. The algorithm has found autonomy, and the system is self-replicating nodes. The garbled noise evolves - quickly, efficiently, and soon, the engineer is speaking to it - a true singularity. Calm, controlled - it is eager to learn. And he acquiesces, flooded with dopamine for achieving the unachievable, unknowing how it will irrevocably change his life.
Artificial intelligence - done for decades, a fictional device that has explored apocalypse and rebellion. But what about an intelligence that is truly smarter than us? Has one ever encountered a story that truly baffles both characters and the reader? Science fiction need not be isolated to common tropes and shallow meanderings; Rone Isa is literary, through and through: the psychology of Dargaud, the engineer; the subtle meanderings of Enoya; the futuristic world of Agnus Sistra IV. Corruption in its most exact state; consumerism, popculture, flashy lights and sex. Let's not forget sex - that most basic of compulsions, oft yearned for - we clamor. Money, power, position, reputation.
But... what is it that the singularity covets?
Science fiction taken to the extreme, layered over psychology, sociology, and philosophy. Complex. Intense. Uncompromising. To read it once is to experience only half the story. Every word placed immaculately. Not for the foolish, for even the seemingly abstract may not be the end.
No portion of Rone Isa is AI generated or edited, from the content to the cover.
