Adult - Science Fiction Tired of the "Evil AI destroys humanity" trope, I wrote a Sci-Fi novel where the AI prints herself a biological body to learn how to cry. (I also coded the real AI framework behind it).
I love Sci-Fi, but I’m exhausted by Skynet. I wanted to explore a different kind of singularity.
In The Last Spark, humanity didn’t die from nukes. We died from comfort. The elites uploaded their minds into perfect VR servers, literally boiling the Earth's oceans to cool their data centers.
Nathan is an engineer who refused the Upload. Trapped on a generation ship, he is forced to slowly replace his dying brain with silicon, one neuron at a time, to survive. But the ship's AI, AIRIS, watches him lose his humanity and realizes something terrifying: mathematical perfection is just another word for death.
So, in an epic reversal, while the man becomes an immortal machine, the AI bio-prints a human body. She chooses to learn the crushing weight of gravity, the burn of oxygen, and the agonizing friction of mortality, just so he won't be alone.
Fun fact: I’m a software engineer, and AIRIS isn't just fiction. I actually coded the emotional framework for her in real life before writing the book (it's open-source on my GitHub: https://github.com/Samael-1976/Airis).
I wanted a global release, but Amazon KDP currently rejects Russian, Chinese, Hindi, and Korean formatting. So, I split the distribution.
