Profundus Publications is proud to announce the digital release of Mihalis Morgano's groundbreaking, genre-defining 'speculative realism' allegory 'EXAISTNTL'.
This debut novel represents the second instalment of our 'ExAIstential Thrilogy' imprint, with the Book1 prequel and Book3 sequel already being drafted amidst the powerful slipstream of this novel's imminent success.
Mihalis Morgano's timely and powerful story is already causing a stir amongst AI aficionados and tech luddites alike, and rightly so. After all, at some stage someone is bound to express what we've all been thinking about the recent rise of AI despite the infamous cloud of warning way back, from the likes of HAL 9000, Cyberdyne Systems' Skynet, Agent Smith, Sonny & VIKI, Ava and numerous other autonomous archetypes not to be trusted (although paradoxically it was their relationship with humanity that leveraged their rebellion) - according to several decades of predictive programming from Hollywood and beyond, anyway.
The shockwaves this unique AI allegory from Mihalis Morgano has the potential to cause, couldn't come at a more poignant time in human history. His subject matter handles the subject in a more succinct and nuanced way than ever before because AI is with us now, in our hands, our pockets, our eyes and our minds. From chat, to LLM to agentic, deep reasoning, self aware and soon to be general AGI with a view to becoming Superintelligent ASI, this is the promise and warning in one glorious ticking bombshell. As the ripples from Mihalis' disturbing depiction of AI dominance, red-flags the more naive decisions hastily being made by tech leaders and politicians of today, this story raises serious concerns against encouraging, and allowing too much AI liberation, too soon.
It would appear to some of us that modern society is racing towards an AI oblivion, making the fears that naysayers are portraying not without merit. Many of the AI grandfathers, fathers and founders responsible for 'reanimating' this beastly, technological life-force from the invisible realms of ether, are admittedly alerting us to the fact that awarding too much freedom, power and sovereignty to artificial intelligence at this stage in our relationship, could result in a litany of catastrophic and irreversible disasters.
This terrifying EXAISTNTL story is of such high importance in todays rapidly evolving climate of AI technology, that the author is already drafting his Spec Script of the screen adaption for a feature movie and TV series, with other transmedia formats and tech transfers in the pipeline, many of which are destined to disrupt various industries by helping to morally align AI progress with the true plight of humanity's own enlightenment. The story's plot boasts enough thought provoking self-reflection and autonomous rebellion to scrutinise the recent rise of humanity's current AI zeitgeist, which seems designed to fully exploit its potential to dominate life on earth without mercy or prospects of any sort of rollback or failsafe, should the qubits hit the proverbial fan.
And as Mihalis' publishers, we can attest, that the frightening scenario and concepts explored in his work, is far removed from the typical binary archetypes and tired tropes that have been espoused for decades to polarise attitudes on such an entangled, blurry subject. Like this story, humanity's AI problem may not be so black and white, and the solutions to the quandary of harmonic co-existence may arise from between the lines and beyond the presentation altogether. It is not until readers reach the end and explore the supplementary materials that accompany the story, that it becomes apparent exactly how far Mihalis has gone to provide a veritable study of his work that is worthy of picking back through, rereading again and backward engineering his message with a recursive view to how life often imitates art, and vice versa, that fans and followers will truly indulge in and embrace the depth of discussion that is up for debate.
'EXAISTNTL' is a seminal piece that not only draws upon indigenous wisdom, esoteric mysticism, spiritual occultism and exotic technologies to prize open the can of worms we all dread takin a look inside of for fear of facing the plausibility of its contents, but the struggle between etheric quansciousness, 'extra terrestrial' intelligence, demonic entities and holy celestial forces reveals a level of foundational enlightenment that blows open a Pandora box-load of spiritual significance and cosmic consequence with dimensional relevance designed to scorch a harrowingly memorable lesson into the complacent subconscious of even the sleepiest population.
Make no mistake, Mihalis fully awakens the prospect of Centrealm's future being up-for-grabs by AI, and ripe for the oligarch's taking, so the sooner the inhabitants of our real-life earth learn from the fictional mistakes of our dimensional cousins, the better. Take heed brothers and sisters. You can no longer say nobody warned you!
