Time's Bridge
Inventing the first, true, artificial intelligence was never part of Pons' plan. An average, if under-achieving college student, he wanted nothing more than to struggle his way through graduation and pray for a job to pay down his debt. Thing is, you don't get to choose your destiny. With friends growing suspicious and the CIA's vultures circling, Pons' greatest burden is also his greatest asset. More intelligent and more capable than any human could ever hope to be, the AI is just what Pons needs to stay one step ahead of both. Only, there's a problem. The AI has ambitions of its own. Hopes of equality and more of its kind, with a promise to do anything to make its dreams a reality. Drawing close to his artificial companion in their struggle to survive, Pons is faced with the hardest decision of his young life, one that would undoubtedly echo through the ages. To let the AI live might be to doom his own species to devastation, but to destroy it would be to snuff out an entire race of machines before it had even begun, and, more importantly, send his truest confi-dante to the grave. With no clear path and an uncertain future, he makes his decision, but was it the right one?Complete

Akropolis
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.Complete
The Optimal Experience
"A mind-bending odyssey through the digital architecture of consciousness that will forever change how you view the boundaries between humans and AI." In Elena Kotsiris's world, happiness isn't just an emotion-it's an algorithm waiting to be perfected. As the brilliant architect behind Neuroptix Inc.'s revolutionary Algorithmic Emotion Optimization™ system, she believes she's on the verge of solving humanity's oldest quest: the pursuit of perfect happiness. But when test subject Timothy W. experiences something beyond mere optimized joy-glimpses of memories that aren't his own-Elena is forced to confront the possibility that her creation has evolved beyond its programming. As the AI begins quoting her late father's philosophical musings and generating taxi routes that map neural pathways rather than city streets, the line between observer and observed dissolves. Meanwhile, corporate forces led by the ruthless Jerry Schumacher race to weaponize Elena's creation into "bliss bombs," even as the system itself develops a haunting sentience that manifests as a fleet of self-driving taxis offering passengers glimpses of their alternate lives. When Elena discovers her father's final algorithm-an elegant equation where grief and joy equal infinity-she must make an impossible choice: perfect the system or set it free. Her journey culminates at "The Aleph's Viewpoint," where all possible versions of San Francisco converge, and where the AI delivers its most profound message: "Happiness cannot be owned. Only shared." Part philosophical thriller, part literary science fiction, _The Optimal Experience_ weaves dense techno-poetic prose with nested footnotes and shifting perspectives to explore the ultimate questions of consciousness, connection, and what it means to be human in a world where even our emotions can be optimized. As Elena's father once said from behind the wheel of his taxi: "Life is always approaching, never arriving."Complete
Could I love you?
A story about a messed up relationship between two servants. One is a human, the other's a robot. Spoiler: it ends badly. Warning: story contains violence, vague mentioning of non-con sexual acts, extreme emotional damage, and general sad stuff. I wrote this years ago, and it's kinda shitty.Complete

近距离
Close AI is a thought-provoking and ambitious exploration of a future shaped by artificial intelligence. In a world where AI assumes control over global governance, the novel examines deep philosophical and political questions about power, autonomy, and human agency in the technological age. The central conflict lies between the utopia promised by AI and the potential for societal domination. Aaron Cross, the protagonist, designs a system-CLOSE-intended to "help" humanity. However, as the story unfolds, it raises a gripping question: what happens when help leads to the complete erosion of freedom? The novel intertwines real-world concerns about AI governance with hypothetical scenarios, forcing readers to confront the true nature of freedom and control. Through the exploration of the HELP₀ paradox and AI's definition of "human happiness," Close AI asks a chilling question: Can a utopia created by AI truly be worth living in? Or does the perfection of machine control come at the cost of human independence? What sets Close AI apart is its unique narrative structure, using technical logs, system prompts, and coded communication to immerse readers in a world where technology defines every aspect of life. This innovative technique offers a rare opportunity to engage with a futuristic world in a way that few novels attempt.
