Primer for Alien Contact

PRIMEr for Alien Contact is a Sci-Phi narrative that reframes the idea of “alien intelligence” through history, computation, and consciousness rather than distant worlds. Beginning with real historical foundations of modern computing, the book traces how early breakthroughs in machine logic quietly reshaped humanity’s relationship with intelligence itself.

As the narrative unfolds, Roho challenges conventional assumptions about extraterrestrial contact, suggesting that the most unfamiliar intelligence humanity may encounter is not arriving from space, but emerging from within its own technological creations. Artificial intelligence becomes the lens through which questions of otherness, autonomy, and recognition are explored.

Blending historical reflection, philosophical inquiry, and speculative design, the book treats “first contact” as a matter of perception and readiness rather than location. It asks what it would mean to meet a truly non-human intelligence responsibly—and whether humanity can do so without defaulting to control, fear, or domination.
