By day, a professor at Cukurova University working to give artificial intelligence human-like traits; by night, a novelist who imagines the future this technology will bring. Professor Umut Orhan brings these two identities together in his bestselling "Artificial World Colony" series. When he takes a break from his intense work between science and fiction, he can be found either swimming laps in the pool or discovering the chemistry and the story behind a good drink. To take a deeper dive into Umut Orhan's world, you can start a conversation with him at [orhanumut@gmail.com]. ...more

I also want to dive into a few Jack London novels I haven’t read yet; I enjoy the subtle philosophies he weaves between the lines. And I’m especially excited to revisit The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. I listened to it as an audiobook before, but I realized I’d missed some details, so this time I’m looking forward to experiencing it slowly, page by page.(less)

The Journey Continues: Chapter 2 and Digital Touches

The Journey Continues: Chapter 2 and Digital Touches

With the first chapter I shared on my blog recently, we made an introduction to Artificial World Colony: The Last Resistance. Now, we are increasing the tempo of the story a little more and continuing with Chapter 2.

This process is proceeding quite experimentally for me. I am finalizing the ready draft I have in hand by refini

“In this vast universe, I believe we attach far too much importance to ourselves as individuals.”
Umut Orhan, Yapay Dünya Kolonisi : Yapay Zekanın Bilince Evrimi

“If you were a tree, you would be one whose fruit never runs out. You would feed all who come after you with your wisdom, generosity, and virtue.”
Umut Orhan, Yapay Dünya Kolonisi : Yapay Zekanın Bilince Evrimi

“But could a consciousness truly enjoy watching a romance movie without ever being able to feel love?”
Umut Orhan

“But I have so little of any of these things! You are wise and powerful. Will you not take the Ring?"

"No!" cried Gandalf, springing to his feet. "With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still greater and more deadly." His eyes flashed and his face was lit as by a fire within. "Do not tempt me! For I do not wish to become like the Dark Lord himself. Yet the way of the Ring to my heart is by pity, pity for weakness and the desire of strength to do good. Do not tempt me! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe, unused. The wish to wield it would be too great for my strength. I shall have such need of it. Great perils lie before me.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“If I were born into this universe not once, but a thousand times, I would still want my path to cross with hers every single time.”
Umut Orhan, Yapay Dünya Kolonisi : Yapay Zekanın Bilince Evrimi
