Book Description
Alien Being Human searches via a quasi-Gonzo-style of writing to stretch the notions and ideals of what it ‘is’ to be human whilst engaging with, and in, ‘identity’, the ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘should’ I—that is ‘me’—‘be’ in this artificial intelligence-meets-human and manufactured-beings pandemonium. Set in the 2050s, which is the end result of an AI-driven affliction decades long in the development of a borderless world.
A machination-driven hostile environment is what has been forced on Mother Earth.
Other—how does one say?—‘Assemblies’ have begun to live on Earth and ‘they’ are many types of beings. The problem is the manufactured beings, or ‘droids’ as they are colloquially referred to by those chasing them down and bringing them ‘into line’, or if not possible, have ‘them’ ‘ended’. Call it what you will. Possibly… no, certainly, droids are getting smarter. Infused-AI? And more to the point, ‘they’, the droids, seem to be evolving ‘feelings’—and there is another undertone beginning to happen; some humans, or purebreds, as they are known, are suggesting droids now have a ‘soul’. Surely not! Perhaps? What! Impossible! No! Surely not? Incredible! Down there on Mother Earth droids have had help ‘evolving’ by one particular recalcitrant pure-breed scientist and it is he who has made them think, consider, contemplate, nuance, be proactive, and… plan. How does one arrest such a situation? How do you outwit the sagacious? How do you outwit an evolved being—a droid—that has become ‘wiser’?
