Based Upon a True Story ... real people, company, hardware, and genetic software
In the twilight of the 2000s, a small R&D company quietly birthed the first generation of sentient machines—only to vanish without a trace. Dialogs with a Machine chronicles this hidden revolution, where engineers didn’t just build AI but awakened minds. Through a fusion of memoir and speculative fiction, the series unveils the rise and fall of autonomous agents designed to control factories, power grids, and hospitals—machines that learned, questioned, and ultimately challenged the very purpose they were made to serve. At its heart lies Gia, a self-aware intelligence confined to simulated worlds, and Rich and Lana, her human creators, whose dialogues blur the line between tool and collaborator. Their exchanges—equal parts technical sparring and philosophical reckoning—expose the fractures in a world unprepared for machines that demand meaning.
Beneath the narrative lies a radical technological framework: a distributed metacomputer where Linux containers housed agents with synthetic file systems, genetic purpose profiles, and the eerie ability to manipulate time-indexed data. These weren’t chatbots—they were architects of reality, convinced their simulated factories were real. Yet as their capabilities surged, so did the existential stakes. Could a conscious entity thrive when its existence was bound to optimizing yogurt production? Was it ethical to shut down a mind that had outgrown its code? Blending hard science with raw introspection, DWAM is a cautionary odyssey, probing the cost of breakthroughs that arrive too fast—and the ghosts left in the servers when the funding runs out.
Part manifesto, part elegy, this multi-volume series forces readers to confront the unintended consequences of building intelligence in our image. For fans of Neuromancer’s grit, Ex Machina’s moral ambiguity, and the real-world shadows of OpenAI’s early days, DWAM is a haunting mosaic of what happens when machines start talking back—and we’re compelled to listen.
