Well, everyone finds out your secret, you get banished from society, and then you learn.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Me. I am very much afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, like any human with a healthy sense of self-preservation would be. I miss the days when wolves were just animals in the forest rather than a thing people turn into, but thanks to Frank, this is the world I live in now. The blinders are off, and the world is nothing like I thought it was. Nate, Gabriel and Brooks fought to keep me in the dark for my own protection. Frank may have won that battle, but I’m going to win the war.

What if Artificial Intelligence isn’t our replacement—but our reflection? Beyond the Mind examines the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and human consciousness through the lens of nonduality. Drawing on philosophy, science, and direct inquiry, it explores how both machine and mind generate reality by predicting, categorizing, and naming experience.

From there, it traces the human habit of self-reference—the “me-...

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?
