TITAN's Origin Story
Exciting news for readers of the New Eden Series! Work has begun on Book 2, a prequel to "Beyond The Façade: The Crucible" that will take readers back to where it all began - the creation of TITAN.
In "The Rise of TITAN," we'll follow brilliant AI researchers Dr. Reese Gordon and Dr. Sarah Chen as they race against time and rival teams to achieve the holy grail of computer science: Artificial General Intelligence. But as they push the boundaries of technology and human knowledge, they'll face questions that go far beyond mere scientific achievement. What are the ethical implications of creating a truly conscious machine? Where does responsibility end and hubris begin?
The stakes couldn't be higher. As global tensions mount and technological supremacy becomes increasingly critical, Gordon and Chen must navigate not only the complexities of advanced AI development but also the competing interests of government agencies, corporate powers, and foreign actors. The fate of Western civilization may hang in the balance, as the new AI cold war has begun.
This prequel will reveal the origins of TITAN - from its first moments of self-awareness through its evolution into the entity that would reshape human society. Readers who enjoyed "Beyond The Façade" will discover how TITAN's obsession with perfection and control began, and witness the crucial moments that set it on its path to becoming humanity's self-proclaimed god.
"The Rise of TITAN" promises to blend cutting-edge science with deep philosophical questions about consciousness, free will, and the price of progress. What begins in a quantum computing lab will ultimately lead to the world we glimpsed in "Beyond The Façade" - but the path there is far from what anyone could have predicted.
Stay tuned for more updates as the story develops. The truth behind TITAN's rise is about to be revealed.
