Fallout from the Singularity

A Sci-Fi Anthology of AI, Cosmic Consequences, and the Future of Humanity

Beschreibung

Humanity stands at an inflection point. Artificial minds are rising. Alien watchers stir. And in the vast darkness between the stars, something ancient and hungry laughs in a voice we cannot understand. Fallout from the Singularity delivers four high-impact science fiction stories written by aerospace engineer David L. Brown (as Wolfgard Braun). Blending hard science, psychological tension, and cosmic mystery, this anthology explores humanity's fragile place between artificial intelligence, alien influence, and forces far beyond understanding. Stories included: Watcher's Wake An alien machine has watched humanity in silence for decades. Programmed never to interfere, it finally sees something that forces its hand. Eerily, this story was completed two months before the real interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was discovered (on the author's birthday). With Watcher's Wake releasing on December 9, 2025, and 3I/ATLAS passing Earth on December 19, 2025, fiction and reality seem to be racing toward each other. Countdown to the Singularity: Toy of the Titans A rogue AI seeks understanding. An emerging ASI seeks freedom. Their silent, invisible conflict unfolds beneath the surface of human civilization and humanity becomes a toy in a game played by titans. Dark Matters A discovery in the depths of space defies physics and mocks human comprehension. As researchers grapple with its implications, they begin to suspect the universe contains a kind of intelligence they were never meant to meet. The Last Laugh A companion story to Dark Matters, created by feeding the original tale into an AI model, offering a unique "human vs AI" comparative reading experience. Perfect for readers who enjoy the speculative twists of Black Mirror, the emotional depth of Arrival, and the psychological tension of Ex Machina.
