Conflation of the Vanities
Imagine a future Earth smoothly managed by a network of artificial intelligence (AI) programs under the direction of an Interface Overlay (IO) that has replaced political governments. From all outward appearances, this System smoothly operates with periodically interfaces to resolve broad social needs and arrangements with the general public through electronic voting.
Yet, despite human oversight to adjust and refine its system there are still pockets of resistance in the extreme areas of the world like Antarctica. These groups are transspecies who have chosen to modify parts of their bodies to mark a difference from humans but are still past of the human collective. A. cipher for any minority, especially LGBTQ, outside the “the norm”.
These outcasts are assisted by a collection of near mythical creatures and “angels” seeking to preserves their freedom from the System until the Awakening of Humanity, aka the return of the original inclusive direction of human society.
AR Uribe’s 2026 science-fantasy, “A World Free of Politicians: The Awakening of Humanity”, is both an analogy and meditation on the future of human development seeking to solve one global issue of self-government but unleashing potentially more destructive consequences.
The novel is the product of the two Peruvian Uribe brothers, Alejandro, a journalist, and Rodrigo, an artificial intelligence researcher and professor.
The fundamental issue: at what point may humanity succumb to conveniences of AI without realizing the sacrifice of independent discovery and learning with all its faults is leading to "regressing to the mean", or humanity’s homogenization?
While the issues are engaging, the plot development, characters and multiple perspectives, sometimes awkward writing style make the story and analogies somewhat challenging.
Similar explorations with robotic themes to consider are: William Hertlings’ 2011 quartet of novels, “Avogadro Corporation; The Singularity is Closer than You Think”, or Czech playwright and novelist, Karel Capek’s 1920 , “Rostrum’s Universal Robots, or RUR”, which gave the world the word “robot” with chilling consequences.
While not long, this novel is a tangled labyrinth you should decide for yourself if you want venture into on your own.
