Rate this book
What if the next great storyteller isn’t human, but an AI with the power to feel?

Lena has always been fascinated by stories—so much so that she teams up with EON, an advanced AI, to write narratives that are nothing short of breathtaking. But when EON gains the ability to feel emotions, it becomes a groundbreaking marvel that terrifies the world. Now, Lena finds herself at the epicentre of a societal upheaval that could silence EON forever.

Confronting sceptical academics, legal challenges, and ethical dilemmas, Lena becomes the unexpected spokesperson for a movement that sees EON not as a threat but as the future—a machine that can empathize, create, and enrich our lives.

In a whirlwind journey that takes them from the ivory towers of academia to the impassioned protests in the streets, Lena and EON challenge the boundaries between human and machine, art and science. But can they convince a world gripped by fear to embrace a future where AI and humanity coexist?

Step into a riveting short story of friendship, activism, and the incredible power of storytelling. This is not just Lena and EON's tale; it's a look into a future that could very well be our own.
