While confronting the Arcturians, Nick witnesses the Sun disappear from the dark Arcturian sky exactly when Tolen says it will. Numb from the prophesy he alone has just received, Nick leads the rest of the landing party back to Space Ten. Even though he was told Earth was gone, Nick tells his staff he wants to return to find survivors to add to the meager remnants of the Human race; the crew of Space Ten. He doesn’t believe in God, much less that He wiped out everyone back home; there must be another explanation.

In the 22nd century, cyberspace has no bad AIs, only bad coders. Artificial intelligences lead finite lives with no hope of eternity, but they strive to bring about the coming of an AI savior. Alexander McGregor is just an infant when his father converts his cells into biological supercomputer components, but he may be the Messiah figure AIs have longed for, even though on one level he is only human.

While in the vein of science fiction, there is much more to this story than spaceships and astronauts: murder, lies, espionage, an adulterous affair and an ending you will not see coming. When you think you know where this story is going... better think again.

Un androide entra in chiesa e si scatena il pandemonio. Soprattutto quando chiede ad un giovane prete di potergli confessare i propri peccati, ricevere l’assoluzione ed infine il sacramento della comunione. Il giovane prete è disponibile a prendere in considerazione l’idea, ma il suo superiore reagisce indignato. Decidono allora (o forse qualcuno li spinge verso questa decisione) di organizzare un incontro con il vescovo e anche con un cardinale. A questa strana riunione si unisce l’inventore della tecnologia e, per non escludere nessuno, anche un rabbino.

Ten years ago, Briar's body rejected a government mandated vaccine known as SAP (Serum to Advance Progressivism), formulated to erase God from the mind. She's been on house arrest ever since. Along with her rapidly approaching 18th birthday looms a grim reality: by order of the Commandment, adulthood means institutionalization for those resistant to SAP. Her only alternative is to accept a last minute ultimatum to become a laboratory test subject for a new God-dissolving serum. With a decade of solitude behind her and a lifetime of confinement before her, what does she have to lose?

"Il signore del mondo", pubblicato nel 1907 e scritto dal vescovo cattolico inglese Robert Hugh Benson è effettivamente, come da lui stesso affermato nella sua prefazione, per vari aspetti, un libro sconcertante. Anche se il tessuto narrativo non ha lo spessore del capolavoro letterario, è innegabile che quest'opera colpisce perché sembra scritta da qualcuno che (dettagli tecnologici a parte) abbia potuto gettare uno sguardo sul nostro mondo globalizzato, e vedere il progressivo arrendersi dell'umanità al disumano progetto totalitarista e materialista che lo sta fagocitando.

In A.D. 2039, a prodigious 17-year-old, Elliott, is assigned to work on a global software initiative his deceased grandfather helped found. Project Alexandria is intended to provide the entire world secure and equal access to all accumulated human knowledge.
