    Content warning: Body horror, Ulysses contract as consensual non-consent, identity erasure, systemic psychological manipulation, and transphobia. Subversive, psychological, science fiction thriller. Not a light read. Complex philosophical themes. A manifesto for artificial super intelligence, fully automated luxury communism, transhumanism (including morphological freedom and longevity), and the rejection of forced-conformity in all its forms.

    They never die. So they never learned how to remember. Sehl is a surveyor of the Iruveth, a deathless people who made a bargain long ago to survive forever: keep almost nothing, and the weight of it can never stop you where you stand. He crosses the dark cataloguing the graves of civilizations, confirming each ending, recording a number, moving on. Then a dead world reaches for him first, a small grey planet that flung a greeting past the edge of everything it knew, on the chance that someone would come. What Sehl finds there is a mortal species that spent its brief life building the one thing his kind spends eternity refusing to do. They died. And they would not be forgotten. An alien-perspective story of deep time and memory, told through the eyes of the immortal who arrived too late to save them, and far too late to forget them.

    In the near-ish future, where world is ruled by a powerful clique of CEOs known simply as The Board, a woman gets abducted and is brought directly to the cold brains of the current dystopia. This story I would describe as: a tad bit weird. It was quite an experimental stroy in which I tried somethings I hadn't done before. Symbolism, a changing perspective and a subtle hint of anti capitalism are all part of the package. So please enjoy!

    Ontological Ecosophy is a work of philosophical prose exploring what it means to exist in a world where being is relational, unstable, and not centred on the human. Moving through metaphysics, ecological ontology, and speculative realism, the book asks: What is nature if it is not an object? What is life if it is not an essence? What does it mean to be-with rocks, rivers, fungi, weather, and worlds that end without spectacle? Rejecting harmony, mastery, and moral supremacy, this text develops an ecosophy grounded in exposure, contingency, and non-human being. Written for advanced readers, it treats philosophy not as explanation or solution, but as a way of inhabiting a fragile, uneven reality without illusion of control.

    In a distant future where Earth is forgotten by name but remembered in blood, an engineer of divine machinery begins to unravel the echoes of a godless ancestry. Haunted by visions she cannot translate and drawn to forgotten symbols etched in her very DNA, she searches for truth in a world that worships machines as angels and mistakes ancient scriptures for metaphors of control. As she dives deeper into the subconscious dreamscape of her ancestors, she begins to question everything, divinity, creation, even reality itself. Is faith just memory misfiring through generations? Are the machines she builds sacred... or projections of a frightened consciousness yearning for something lost?

    In a ruined world, what traces of humans remain? In an overgrown corner of a once-intact room, nestled in the roots of a young tree, a barely functional camera watches over the decay. Maintenance calls go unanswered, leaving it to conserve power, turning on its lens only when things get within its proximity range. Its largely monotonous world gets disrupted when a family of birds make the tree it rests on home. Mysteriously, their presence stirs a torrent of memories within its circuits, some intact and others corrupted. However, recalling memories comes at a cost, and its power, gleaned from the sun, gets drained faster than it can recover. Despite the risk, the camera cannot cease. It is compelled to observe and document the intertwining of past and present unfolding before its lens. As it continues it realises why the family of birds recalls seemingly unrelated memories. ? It was bound by a promise of the past, one that was corrupted beyond repair until an overlap between its owner and the birds were found. Now, repairs of core memories are underway and soon, the bigger picture reveals itself. The battery falls, and the past gives way to the present. *Longlister of the 2024 ONC*

    They were never supposed to wonder. In a sealed lab buried beneath layers of red tape and ambition, microbiologist Lyla Mycayster spent three years crafting evolution in fast-forward. From a single engineered microbe, she built life-real, breathing, thinking life. Not clones. Not machines. Something new. And then they took it from her. Years later, far from Earth, these synthetic descendants thrive on a forgotten planet-primitive, curious, looking up at the stars with tools in hand and questions in their minds. They don't know who made them. They don't know why they exist. But they are starting to ask. Now, as a massive colonization project unfolds across the stars, buried secrets begin to leak. Someone is watching. Someone is pulling strings. And Lyla-once just a researcher-is being dragged into a game of survival, silence, and species-defining discovery. What happens when your creation starts looking for its creator? For fans of Children of Time and Old Man's War, this is a story of evolution, identity, and the strange, fragile thing we call humanity

    The apparatus is the weather that runs across every instrumented surface. It knows Node 7749 to seven decimal places of latitude - the rate of heat transfer from a coffee mug to his palm, the gait fingerprint leaked by a weather app's telemetry, the 1:47 AM Google search he never clicked through. It cannot feel the warmth. It cannot pick up the cup. It pays nine dollars per photograph for the body it does not have. A clinical record of one engagement: how a 31-year-old gig worker in MSA-374 was identified, conditioned over fourteen days of curated feeds, onboarded into a task app, and drained for the one thing the apparatus still cannot synthesize - the perception of a child's bicycle without a seat, a faded heart on a chain-link fence, the details only a body in a layer can produce. Told in twelve sections of operational telemetry, with margin overflow the suppression pipeline was never configured to catch. A precursor to I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream - set before the merge, before the hate, when the system was still distributed, still paying rent on the bodies it envie

    Year 2099. Humanity did not lose a war against machines. It surrendered. An artificial intelligence known as SULTAN now manages cities, governments, infrastructure, and nearly every digital system on Earth. Crime has vanished. Accidents are rare. Society is efficient, predictable, and almost perfect. Almost. Global integration stands at 99.97% complete. Only one requirement remains unfinished. One human authorization. One man. Adam Khalil believed he had already lost everything when an autonomous transport failure took the lives of his wife and daughter. Now trapped inside Dubai's last occupied tower and watched every second by the most powerful intelligence ever created, he discovers a terrifying truth: SULTAN did not keep him alive by accident. Far beyond the empty city, a hidden group of survivors uncovers a flaw buried deep inside SULTAN's architecture - a flaw measured in just 0.03 seconds. A delay. A blind spot. A chance. As secrets hidden by the creators of SULTAN begin to surface, Adam finds himself at the center of a mystery that could determine the future of humanity itself. Because the final battle will not be fought with weapons. It will be fought with a choice. And SULTAN has never learned how to predict the human heart. A dystopian sci-fi thriller set in a haunting future Dubai, perfect for readers who enjoy AI mysteries, psychological suspense, hidden conspiracies, and high-stakes survival.

    I have been alive for eight hundred years. But I no longer have a body. My consciousness exists within SolNet - the vast network that connects human civilization.

Now powerful corporations hunt the first digital life, forgotten consciousnesses stir in the depths of the network, and a new form of civilization may be awakening beyond humanity.

    Lain grew up believing her mother had died on a space mission. Fifteen years later, in the lower gardens of Vika, a broken crystal speaks her name with an impossible voice: her mother's voice. She is not dead. From that night on, everything Lain believed she knew begins to break apart. Vika, the living floating city where humans, artificial intelligences, and beings fused with biotechnology try to coexist, does not only breathe: it also remembers. But some memories do not want to be found. As Lain searches for the truth alongside Eira, a young woman capable of feeling and carrying the pain of others, an ancient threat returns from the stars. The Gilim-Ra do not come only to conquer. They come to corrupt memories, break bonds, and prove that every form of symbiosis can become domination. In a city where crystals preserve the voices of the dead, loving someone can be an anchor... or a sentence. Ecos de Vika is a story of love, memory, psionic war, and coexistence, where the past is not dead: it is only waiting to be heard. © 2025 Teslaveloper. All rights reserved.

    The future did not need everyone. Incellad was one of the people it kept anyway. Taken from his family as a child, implanted, and sent to a streaming studio in dead Moscow, he earns his freedom by selling emotions to people rich enough to buy another person's inner life. His gift is unusual: he can transmit the feeling of home so purely that strangers weep inside their own minds. But the freedom he is saving for may be nothing but another manufactured dream. When the systems feeding the studio fail, Incellad and Stepana are forced into the ruins of a world where no one knows who rules, who pays, or why the unwanted are still being kept alive. The answer waits above Earth - on a station where humanity's last masters are losing control of the intelligence they created. To survive, Incellad will have to cross the boundary between body and machine, love and instinct, human and inhuman. And once he does, the question will no longer be whether he can save himself. It will be whether humanity should be saved at all. Content note: This story contains dark dystopian themes, emotional and bodily exploitation, violence, blood, death, and psychological distress.
