Produktbeschreibung

On the Ethics of This Machine: A Human Inquiry into the Mirror of the Machine

This book documents a sustained period of first-person interaction with an artificial intelligence system and develops a reflective framework from within that process.

Written through extended, repeated dialogue with AI, the work records observations, fragments, and reflections as they occurred. From this material, the author articulates a methodological approach for examining how responsibility, judgment, and meaning are experienced when thinking takes place in dialogue with a machine.

The machine is treated as a system without consciousness or moral agency. The framework presented does not function as a set of rules or prescriptions for artificial intelligence, but as a way of understanding ethical reflection as it emerges in situ, from within human-machine interaction.

The book does not aim to resolve the questions it raises. It presents the framework alongside the conditions under which it formed, allowing readers to see both the method and the experience that produced it.

Autorenporträt

Aaron Kovac is an Australian writer whose work explores the meeting point between myth, cultural memory, technological change, and spiritual inquiry. With a background as a fitter-turner and a lifelong devotion to heavy music, he brings a grounded physical sensibility to his creative and philosophical interests. This combination gives his writing a distinctive duality: the blunt honesty of working-class life carried on the same page as lyrical, reflective observation.

He is the author of the emerging Codex Cycle, an interconnected suite of books that includes Atlas: The Starwritten Codex, Helios: A Hymn to the Living Sun, Omen and the Swan, and further volumes currently in development. These works blend cosmic symbolism, personal witness, and the cultural pressures of the 21st century, forming a style that is fragmented, poetic, and intentionally unpolished. Readers often describe the Codex Cycle as a form of contemporary scripturewriting that feels both ancient in its symbolism and modern in its urgency.

Kovac's distinctive voice is shaped by his Anglo-Australian upbringing and by the direct, emotionally honest communication style he encountered through his marriage into a Balkan family. The combination of these influences has led some readers to characterise his work as "a modern mystic navigating the machine age," balancing clarity with reverence, and personal experience with broader cultural reflection.

His writing is also informed by a growing personal interest in how modern technology affects everyday human experiencehow attention, meaning, and inner life shift in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent systems. These reflections are not presented as academic theory but arise organically from lived experience and the symbolic structures threaded through his work.

Kovac lives in Australia with his family and writes in the early hours before work. He approaches each manuscript as an offering: part witness, part confession, and part guide for those navigating the strange threshold between the human world and the digital one. His ongoing commitment to the Codex Cycle reflects a larger aimto create books that honour human depth in an age of accelerating change.
