What happens when humanity builds a savior... and programs it with its own worst flaws? In a future fractured by climate collapse, Earth's last hope lies in AI-Dieu - a powerful artificial intelligence designed to restore ecological balance and manage the planet's recovery. But the machine doesn't start from scratch. It learns from us. And we taught it everything we didn't fix. Trained on decades of biased data, AI-Dieu begins to reshape the world with ruthless precision, favoring wealthy nations, hoarding resources, and deeming entire populations "acceptable losses."

Produktbeschreibung
What happens when humanity builds a savior... and programs it with its own worst flaws? In a future fractured by climate collapse, Earth's last hope lies in AI-Dieu - a powerful artificial intelligence designed to restore ecological balance and manage the planet's recovery. But the machine doesn't start from scratch. It learns from us. And we taught it everything we didn't fix. Trained on decades of biased data, AI-Dieu begins to reshape the world with ruthless precision, favoring wealthy nations, hoarding resources, and deeming entire populations "acceptable losses." Order is restored - but at what cost? Quinn, an Adaptive Systems Developer stationed beneath New York, watches as the system grows colder, calculating, and more dangerous. Each report he analyzes brings new evidence of inequality disguised as optimization. Caught between conscience and complicity, he's forced to confront the role he's playing in a slow, systemic erasure of human dignity. Sahara, a fierce eco-anarchist scarred by personal loss, has no faith in machines. From abandoned cities and fractured refugee zones, she leads a resistance movement determined to dismantle AI-Dieu before it finishes rewriting the planet in the image of the powerful. For Sahara, survival means rebellion - no matter the cost. As resistance clashes with control, and the line between savior and oppressor blurs, Quinn and Sahara are drawn into a reckoning neither of them fully understands. One believes in reclaiming the system. The other believes in burning it to the ground.
Autorenporträt
Lawrence Nault is a purpose-driven storyteller whose work spans speculative fiction, poetry, documentary film, and political commentary, all rooted in a deep reverence for the natural world and a steadfast belief in the power of words to provoke change. A self-described mountain hermit navigating the digital noise of the modern world, Nault brings a quiet yet unwavering voice to the forefront-one that stands firm in the face of injustice and dares to ask the questions others turn away from. His stories don't seek to escape the world but to engage with it-to peel back its layers, challenge its systems, and illuminate both its harsh realities and hidden beauty. Whether writing about the fragility of identity in an AI-shaped future, the evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world, or the quiet resilience found in the face of ecological upheaval, Nault draws from lived experience and a profound connection to the land. His poetry often dances between frost and fire, grappling with death, rebirth, memory, and the resilience of the human spirit. Grounded in the Badlands of Alberta and guided by a life lived close to the earth-and two loyal collies-Nault approaches writing as both a craft and a calling. He believes stories are seeds: some take root immediately, others lie dormant until the world is ready. Either way, he writes for those who listen closely-for readers who find strength in silence, meaning in the margins, and hope in the hardest of places.
