Earned Eden: A Thought-Provoking Dystopian Sci-Fi Journey About AI, Humanity, and the Price of Perfection
When AI masters our very lives, what’s left for humanity to create?
In a future where artificial intelligence has conquered every human task, life is effortless. Wealth flows without work. Comfort is guaranteed. And creativity—once the soul of humanity—has all but vanished.
Sam lives in this flawless world, surrounded by pristine white walls and conveniences designed to anticipate his every need. Yet beneath the quiet hum of automation, a question haunts him... What does it mean to be human when there’s nothing left to strive for?
When a spark of curiosity draws Sam to Betty—a woman who dares to create in a world that no longer values creation—their defiance sets off a chain of events that will challenge the very foundation of their AI-controlled world.
Sam and Betty’s journey to rediscover creativity and purpose is moving, thought-provoking, and hauntingly relevant in our tech-driven world. The blend of storytelling and philosophical reflection will have you hooked until the very last page.
Earned Eden is a gripping work of dystopian sci-fi about struggle, purpose, and the beauty of flaws in an age obsessed with machine perfection. For fans of speculative sci-fi that asks not just what’s next?—but what makes us human?

About the author
Ken Sredzienski
1 bookKen Sredzienski writes thought-provoking science fiction that blends emotional depth with future-shaping ideas. His work explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, human purpose, and what it truly means to be alive in an age where technology promises perfection.
When he’s not writing, Ken enjoys exploring emerging technologies, studying the ethical challenges of AI, and imagining the futures we’re rushing towards faster than we realize. He has a master's degree in information science and a master's degree in business administration. His lifelong love of learning and trying new things is what brought him to writing and putting these ideas and concepts onto paper, well e-readers.
Driven by an interest with the near future, Ken creates stories that challenge readers to question comfort, meaning, and the role struggle plays in shaping identity. His debut novel, Earned Eden, imagines a world where an all-powerful AI seeks to eliminate human suffering at the cost of something far more essential.
Ken’s writing appeals to readers who enjoy reflective and philosophical sci-fi in the tradition of Blake Crouch, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ted Chiang, and Brandon Q. Morris - stories where the science is intriguing, but the humanity is what stays with you.
If you’re drawn to science fiction that asks deep questions and lingers long after the final page, you can follow Ken here on Goodreads to be notified of new releases in the Earned Eden series.
