Artificial World Colony: The Blue Collapse
Book Two of the Artificial World Colony Trilogy
How was the idea of an Artificial World born?
Who founded the Land of Science—and who truly steered it?
Whose legacy carried the immortal genes?
How did Kronos, Jupiter, Juno, Simon, Nikola, and Liluri become a united team, despite their vastly different paths?
And how did hundreds of scientists from entirely different disciplines manage to work toward a single dream—without a single fracture?
This novel offers answers to these questions and more—not just telling a story, but unveiling humanity’s darkest trial. You’ll find yourself questioning how it all began, how it evolved, and what it ultimately became.
The Blue Collapse dives into the depths of the boldest and most perilous project ever undertaken by mankind. Born of despair, this colossal endeavor was more than just a spaceship—it was a promise of a new civilization, a new order.
But no system remains innocent once absolute power takes hold.
The hidden archives of the Land of Science are finally
– The veiled agenda of the Collective Consciousness
– The rise of Artificial Intelligence
– The mysteries of telepathic communication
– The Incubation Station, Robotic Classrooms, Security Units, and the eerie rehabilitation Asphodel
– And of course, the strategic game that shaped Domino Dart
As democracies collapse and algorithms seize free will, buried memories, forgotten values, and the very core of what it means to be human are thrown into question.
Each chapter unveils new secrets; and behind every answer, a deeper fracture appears.
And amid all the chaos,
a love blossoms—quiet, timeless, and defiant—
a reminder of everything they were told to forget.

Interesting concepts on the development of AI consciousness
This novel explored some interesting concepts regarding AI. The main character, Selene, is transported virtually to Earth at a time of upheaval as the issues of pollution, overcrowding, poor access to healthcare and corruption were rampant. Visionaries were attempting to create a Land of Science which could help address these issues or prepare for a subset of humans to leave Earth to look for another planet. Selene is viewing what transpires as seen through snippets of memories transmitted by a device as she interacts with an AI consciousness.
Unfortunately, the use of the third person to describe the interactions meant I didn’t develop empathy with any of the characters. And some of the science was just bad. There was a lot of emphasis on creating clones from middle aged humans. But the issue is that the telomeres are shortened as we age and so those clones would have a very short lifespan, much like the cloned sheep Dolly. So if you can overlook some of the scientific issues and the somewhat pedantic delivery, the book also offers the potential for AI to address some inequalities.

Book 2 of a series
I received a complementary copy via Goodreads Giveaways.
There are some interesting ideas concerning AI the author explores in this second of a 3 book series. I purchased book 1 when I won the draw for this book which I will read at some future date.

In my review of the novel Artificial World Colony – The Blue Collapse, I tried to convey what I saw when I set aside the minor rough patches that every promising author experiences (such as some spelling or proofreading errors) and accepted the world the author has built on its own terms. Like many, I also found the description of the 25 immortal genetic characters to be tiring. However, I interpreted this as a clue to a long story and a deeply designed fictional universe.
The story picks up where The First Journey left off, focusing less on humanity's journey to the stars and more on the slow collapse of the world left behind. This is a quieter, more thoughtful book; it treats the collapse not just as a physical catastrophe, but as a moral and emotional disintegration.
Selene's transformation is handled with great emotional subtlety. She is no longer the curious girl from The First Journey; she stands on the threshold of her destiny, confronting both the ruins of her planet and the consequences of the choices made by those who came before her.
The author's depiction of the collapse of the Blue Sphere civilization is measured but impactful. The true strength of the story lies in its ability to blend its science fiction framework with human fragility and hope. There are so many details and intriguing gaps that the question "I wonder if it will happen like this?" crossed my mind repeatedly; but to touch upon them all would make this review unnecessarily long.
Overall, The Blue Collapse has a more introspective atmosphere than the previous book. Instead of shining with action, it quietly lingers in the mind, inviting the reader to reflect on endings, rebirths, and what a world can leave behind as it collapses. I highly recommend you read it...
