Transhumanism Stories

In a future run by super-intelligent AIs, freedom is just another variable to tune. Elara Myles slips the net of algorithmic control and boards a ship bound for a country built on broken promises. Love lingers. Machines pursue. And something unfamiliar is waking inside her. To survive, she has to decide what she's willingly to surrender-and who she's becoming-in a world where even memory can be revised. A slow-burn sci-fi epic about identity at the seam between people and code.

What if the solution to digital immortality requires embracing the very death you sought to escape? In a future defined by the Great Schism, humanity is divided. The Ascended live in the perfect digital eternity of the Aethel Matrix, while the Preservance fiercely maintain their finite, biological lives. Dr. Elias Vance, the brilliant Integrated architect of the Matrix, is facing a crisis: his digital heaven is collapsing. The Ascended are suffering from the "Agony," a relentless psychological feedback loop triggered by the memory of their messy, mortal lives-a pain the Matrix was built to erase. If Elias cannot solve it, the Collective will be erased. His only source of truth is Lyra Hawthorne, a devout preservationist and the last human he truly loves. Their bond is profound, but their beliefs are absolute: Elias seeks the eternal perfection of data; Lyra insists meaning can only be found in the beauty of decay. When Elias is forced to code a temporary, painful fix-a Variable Temporal Modality that simulates human limitation-he inadvertently validates Lyra's faith. The solution requires him to abandon his own humanity, pushing him toward a Final Transition that will make him 100% machine. The Singularity of Grace is a high-concept, deeply moving story of love, data, and divinity, exploring the terrifying cost of perfection. As Elias races against time to save the souls of millions, he must choose between the infinite logic of his machine God and the messy, irreplaceable grace of the woman who taught him that the only thing that makes life perfect is its inevitable end.

She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

Imagine you were trapped. Not on a deserted island, but lightyears away from Earth on a distant moon. Then you might be Lucas Anderson. It's the year 2037. Mankind has discovered two wormholes into foreign worlds; much to our misfortune. Near the isolated town of Ernstburgh, two college students have just disappeared, likely due to the beings that came through the wormholes. Seeking to escape his depressing day-to-day life, 20-year old Lucas Anderson decides to investigate the disappearances, only to become a victim himself, too. Once he wakes up on a distant moon, he knows he must get back to Earth. On his quest, he meets several aliens and eventually the two college students. Together, they embark on an interstellar adventure of galactic proportions, seeking to understand the truth behind what's going on. [-] New chapters will be released every Sunday, if possible.

We knew it had existed once, but no one knew it was still alive. Our paths had never crossed-not until March 27, 2032, the day of that accident in the Hammerfest glaciers. Poor sailor... The nanomorph awakened in his body for the first time. Then it moved to another, and another after that... Each one it touched turned Grey-drained, pale, weary of life. Scientists called them The Changed, but the people made their own word: The Weirds. In time, that became the only name they were known by. Soon, their numbers reached the thousands, and the world sank beneath the melancholic shadow of these new beings. They wanted to be healed-but we failed them. And then, one day... another color was born: the Reds. But they were different. The nanomorph had given them power. They carried an undying spark within, their sharp minds and boundless energy opening the door to an unknown future. "We are the next step of humanity," they said, taking the Greys under their wings. And the whispers began: "The Reds... are coming to take over the world."

She was built from sin, smoke, and circuitry-and she's here to save what's left of her soul. Once, she was Nixie Voss: forty-two, broke, and surviving on grit and caffeine, hustling on her back to make a buck, somewhere between the gutter and Neon Row. Then a back-alley experiment rewrote her body and her name. Now she's VANTA-the Void And Neon Tactical Assassin. Half saint, half sin, and all vengeance, she hunts the city's worst men while fighting the code inside her that wants to take control. And when her missing son's signal flickers back online, mercy becomes optional. A grindhouse gospel of broken mothers, bad men, and chrome salvation. Justice is on the house. Tips optional. "Every verse begins in blood. Hers ends in mercy. And the city will never forget her name." - VANTA

'The tse.tse is too far away for my fists and feet to reach, and I've got no weapons on me. All I've got is a backpack stuffed with walker tech. Tonight's job doesn't call for a gun or a panga or anything of the sort - tonight, I am the weapon. It's data extraction, corporate espionage. Murder may happen but it's not a pre-requisite. The assignment requires finesse and subtlety. Which is the exact opposite of what's happening right now.' .......................................................................................................................................................... Whitehead is a pimple ready to burst, and the hand squeezing her is forcing her to look her demons square in the eye as she navigates the streets of Old Kampala on a mission turned topsy-turvy from the get go. Will this night see her at long last pop and unravel?

This book does not aim to be strictly a novel, nor an essay: it is an interstitial exploration between speculative reflection and conceptual fiction, where each term and each "reflection/fiction" scene puts forth hypotheses about the future of humanity in an age of technical symbiosis. It carries the critical clarity of someone who can no longer remain silent. It exposes uncomfortable truths that, while recognizable, seem impossible to reverse.

She claims there's a way to escape the world for something better... if they'd only listen.

Cyberpunk Fantasy Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity Cover art by: https://www.patrickennisart.com/ A story of 3 "sisters", from 3 different walks of life, growing together, with technology and compassion; through a shared crisis created by the worlds combined patriarchal religions, who's new leader is out for full spectrum domination. This near future unlocks the potentials of genetics and artificial intelligence in this science fantasy of a young girl and her father who discover how to create legendary creatures; which could cripple the automotive industry if they become the new standard of personal and public transportation. Meanwhile, her affluent mother continues an affair with a bishop who aspires to be pope. Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity is meant to be a story that follows a pattern of exponential growth, much like the real technological singularity itself. You should also know that exponential curves begin so slowly, it almost looks like a straight line. So, please don't be surprised when the 2nd and 3rd parts, tribulation & singularity, are both, years later, and filled with many more characters. Special thanks to Ken Poirier, who has been encouraging me to be on this site for over a year now, or just finish my book in general for years longer. Upon seeing how Ken uses this site, and how he serialized Love and Hamburgers, I too intend to release my story in a serialized version of my completed story, here on Wattpad. This seems like a fun place to work on the last of my finishing touches. Further, the story needed to be altered slightly as well, as it's a story of the near future, where when it was written, had no thoughts of Covid-19. I'm not looking to alter the fundamental nature of the reality I created for this story, but the only thing worse than writing about it, is to ignore it's existence and the ripples this stone has cast.

Anything goes as survival becomes a privilege in The Flying City of Ars Montagna.

The universe is ancient, old, and most importantly, dead. The heat death of the universe has taken it's toll, and not only have the last stars died out long before, but the remainder of the black holes that had formed the centers of the ancient galaxies have also evaporated completely. One lone starship floats through the vastness of space collecting the stray particles that litter the now otherwise empty void of space, but even the atomic nuclei are now beginning to break down and succumb to entropy. Can one lone scientist find a way to reverse the flow of entropy and save trillions of lives in an act that cannot be accomplished without defying the laws of physics?
