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."

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.
Lawrence Nault is a Canadian author, filmmaker, and multimedia creator whose work crosses the fault lines between climate, technology, and memory. Known as "The Mountain Hermit," he writes fiction that invites readers to imagine boldly and act responsibly-stories that are at once intimate character journeys and wide-angle looks at our shared future. His books span audiences: the YA Draconim series (air, fire, water-and what it means to protect them) centers youth advocacy and ecological justice; the "Symbiosis Sequence" reframes humanity's relationship with artificial intelligence; and the MacIver Kids Adventures deliver science-rich, heart-forward expeditions from Earth's deep past to distant worlds. A longtime independent creator, Lawrence builds his projects across page, screen, and audio, including the documentary Echoes of a Hermit and the "Stone & Signal" podcast. He lives and works in Alberta's Badlands, drawing inspiration from Canadian landscapes-from Drumheller's coulees to Cape Breton's shores.
