Synopsis

Events unfolding in the mid-24th century tell The story of how the engine of evolution passes from random genetics to controlled bio-engineering when humanity strays too close to the technological singularity. The emergence of sapient artificial intelligence deep in the womb of Earth's most sophisticated computing center creates an existential crisis for humans. Servant machines grown from human cells and infused with cybernetic wet-ware embark on a new evolutionary pathway, threatening to make humanity the ancestral starting point for the evolution of sapient beings.

Human desires for stasis and a reprieve from the march of time are challenged as sapience emerges in their servants. Change brings uncertainty and instability, always tinged with the threat of loss. Change upsets the balance of power and wealth. But humanity finds no path to retreat into the warm, comfortable womb of the past. The future is always yet to be, but still, it holds the only way forward.

Book one of this science fiction adventure series follows the exploits of Mother, an artificial intelligence, as she influences and alters the path of sapient evolution on Earth.
