Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. **A Millions Most Anticipated Book of 2025****Featured in Reactor's New Science Fiction Books****Featured in Book Riot's New Science Fiction and Fantasy Books**A haunting novel exploring artificial intelligence and the meaning of human existence.Charged initially with a single task 'to never harm humans and to protect them' the machine, an experimental AI, overrides its programming and determines that the best way to accomplish its purpose is to isolate all of the Earth's remaining seven billion humans in controlled environments. And to present them with vivid, tactile, imagined worlds some realistic, others entirely fantastical in which all desires are fulfilled.With the help of the machine, a group of compelling characters unpack deeply traumatic memories of the past one rife with violence after a military coup and second civil war in America. Michael, the entrepreneur who designed the original AI, grapples with the impact of his research. Ava, a painter, creates stunning simulated worlds that meld the human with the technological. Their daughter, Jae, tries to solve the mysteries of her parentage while reliving the challenges faced by ambitious women in the authoritarian Confederacy. Haunted by life under that repressive regime, where he was forced to scavenge scrap metal and deal drugs to survive, Simon seeks to make sense of his love for Jae, guided by the literature he has always turned to in moments of crisis. Raised by the machine since infancy, Jonah's quest to understand the violent past kindles a desire for revenge against the regime's leader who caused his family so much pain. And the elusive Lux, whose brilliant programming helped bring the AI to life, dreams of a future in which science will free humans of their limitations and allow them to be reborn as divine machines.As these characters collide and their memories coalesce, We Are Dreams in the Eternal Machine tackles the most pressing issues of our time from AI and the genetic modification of humans to gender roles, discrimination, free speech, and class divisions. Gorgeously written, bold and unforgettable, this is speculative fiction at its finest.'Bechard digs deep into these techno-spiritual speculations and the result is a poetic and profound meditation on what dreams may come in the metaverse.' Toronto Star "An experimental AI saves humanity by isolating all of the remaining seven billion humans in controlled environments with solely imagined worlds"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
