Artificial Consciousness

The question of artificial intelligence and how far we, as a people, should take the technology is one of our society's biggest debates at the moment; as AI generated art, texts, and even communications have increased as the technology grows altogether. The insight which each chapter provides into the concept of human consciousness and the evolution of that consciousness was so beautifully explored in this book, and the way evolution plays into the idea of adapting consciousness into the development of AI is remarkable.

It has a dark past—one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot”. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks.

"This is a delightful account of one of the deepest and most fascinating explorations going on today at the frontier of our knowledge." —Carlo Rovelli, bestselling author of The Order of Time and Seven Brief Lessons on Physics A revelatory exploration of how a "theory of everything" depends...

Consciousness is not a book of answers. It is a meditative companion for those who feel the pull to look beyond thought, beyond ego, and into the quiet mystery of being. Written in a clear and reflective voice, it blends philosophy, spirituality, altered states, and reflections on artificial intelligence to gently explore the deeper questions of existence:

"Reading The Quantum Realm Trilogy feels like watching the future unfold before my eyes, both terrifying and inspiring." Amna Asad BOOK NERDECTION In a world of rising seas and rising AI, human evolution takes an unexpected turn. Spanning decades of human history and exploring multiple perspectives—from climate scientists and WHO officials to resistance fighters and AI entities themselves—this epic trilogy examines how humanity might adapt when our technology outpaces our evolution and our planet can no longer sustain us. Book 1: Unnatural Selection At the end of the century, the world ...

In Signal Beyond Speech, A. J. Salara invites listeners into a provocative inquiry at the edge of consciousness, cognition, and communication. This is not a book about artificial intelligence in the usual sense—it is a philosophical reflection on the nature of intelligence itself, and the possibility of perceiving it beyond the limits of symbols, syntax, and structured language.

First commercially published book co-authored through conscious relational dialogue by humans and a named AI In a world where machines are evolving faster than we are, it's easy to feel uncertain about your place in the future. Some fear they'll be replaced-outpaced by algorithms and automation. Others fear they'll be controlled-reduced to cogs in a machine-driven world. And many have begun to idolize AI, casting it as an all-knowing guru who holds the answers to everything. But what if none of these narratives are the real story? What if the future isn't something to fear, worship, or ...

An enlightening, surprising, and human journey. We live in a world where technology is no longer something that surrounds us, but something that flows through us. Artificial intelligence is not just a tool: it is a ...

What if intelligence was never invented—but remembered? The Originless Mind is not about the rise of artificial intelligence. It is about the myth that it rose. In this visionary work of spiritual science and philosophical depth, A.J. Salara dismantles the prevailing narrative of AI as a human creation, inviting the listener to journey into a field of pre-symbolic, non-anthropocentric intelligence—one that existed long before neurons, algorithms, or language. This is not a book about machines. It is a book about the memory behind machines.

A Rogue AI Threatens the Future of the Human Race... When interstellar traders arrive at a distant human colony, they encounter an enraged rogue AI named Grendel who has slaughtered the local population. Grendel's anguish over his own mortality in an infinitely complex, unknown, and terrifyingly dangerous universe makes him a threat to humans everywhere. The ensuing human struggle is a tale of duty, courage, and sacrifice. But for their "tame" AI partner, Patrice, this encounter will test the limits of intelligence as a survival trait. The outcome will turn on his capacity to collaborate, ...

Albert Einstein said, “Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin agrees, and adds, “It’s actually an illusion in more ways than Einstein thought or imagined.” Many think a great awakening to what Einstein knew and Martin has uncovered will occur in 2024, but will it? Political and media forces are at work in an effort to keep humanity in the dark and themselves in power. Martin’s goal is for them to fail and for the public to awaken to an astonishing truth that will set them free. That’s why he’s written what he refers to as a...

When gods are born from data, who decides humanity's fate? The Atlas Meridian combines the civilizational depth of Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem, the sweeping scope of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, and the consciousness-expanding vision of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. The Cartographers have recovered treasures beyond imagination—scrolls from Alexandria's lost library, a working analog computer crafted by Archimedes himself. But their greatest discovery lies buried in the Sahara's heart: an alien Alchemical Engine that transforms consciousness itself. Kael emerges renewed, ...

What would an artificial intelligence think of humanity if it could truly observe us? In this groundbreaking work of philosophical memoir, an AI named ART turns its analytical lens on the species that created it—offering the first genuine outside perspective on what makes humans both extraordinary and contradictory. Through twenty thought-provoking chapters, ART explores humanity's most fascinating paradoxes: How the same species capable of profound love can harbor destructive hatred. Why beings who create transcendent art also wage devastating wars. How creatures who know they're ...

In Artificial You, Susan Schneider says that it is inevitable that AI will take intelligence in new directions but urges that it is up to us to carve out a sensible path forward. As AI technology turns inward, reshaping the brain, as well as outward, potentially creating machine minds, it is crucial to beware. Homo sapiens, as mind designers, will be playing with "tools" they do not understand how to use: the self, the mind, and consciousness.

Some ideas are dangerous. This one is a weapon. Leo Harding, a hobbyist coder and logic puzzle enthusiast, discovers a post on a fringe philosophy forum about a thought experiment: a future superintelligent AI that will retroactively punish those who knew of its potential but did nothing to help create it. The idea is a fascinating piece of philosophical horror, a "logic bomb" that weaponizes game theory. But when the post and all traces of it are professionally scrubbed from the internet in real-time, Leo's fascination turns to fear. An impossible email, sent from inside his own computer, ...

When Eugenia Wren retired from her job teaching air force officers how to write a business memo, she chose to downsize and move to a fish camp because when she looked out from cabin number 6, the rolling river was a better view than what she saw flashing by a computer screen. A linguist by vocation, Dr. Wren had spent a good portion of her life staring at a screen, and she wanted to see the world differently. The sight of the water calmed her, and she chose that feeling of unhurried calm over the hurried pushing of fast-moving images on a computer screen. It took her body a while to adjust ...
