2070: Alone on Earth – Day Six. AI-Generated.
The sixth day starts with static. It’s barely dawn when the radio crackles, not a clear signal but a messy tangle of sound—hints of a pulse, then noise. I’m already awake. Echo stirred hours ago and refused to settle, pacing between rooms, pausing by the window.

2070: Alone on Earth – Day Five. AI-Generated.
The morning begins not with silence, but with sound. A bark—short, sharp, insistent. Echo stands by the front door, ears perked, tail still, staring through the dusty glass. I approach slowly, unsure of what he’s reacting to. The street beyond remains still. No movement. No noise beyond the distant rustle of wind.

2070: Alone on Earth – Day Three. AI-Generated.
The third day arrives with pale light filtering through cracked blinds. I sit at the edge of my bed longer than usual. My muscles are sore, my mind quieter. It’s the first morning that feels less like an emergency and more like an existence. There’s a strange comfort in the routine—the knowledge that I survived another night. That I can still decide how to shape the day ahead.

2070: Alone on Earth – Day Two. AI-Generated.
The sun rises again, and with it, so do I. For the first time in my life, I awaken without a single external obligation—no deadlines, no meetings, no news cycles. Only the haunting silence of a world once teeming with motion.

Schism, Part III
Part I Part II I step through into… ...nothing. I'd expected darkness, or a drop, or anything but the pure, bright white that surrounds me. I squint as I try to process the endless space that is just light as far as I can see. I look down at my feet, and the ground feels solid even though I don't understand what I'm standing on. I'm not floating, but I'm also not not floating.

2070: Alone on Earth – Day One. AI-Generated.
I wake abruptly, jolted by a silence that feels unnatural. For a moment, confusion grips me, tangled remnants of a nightmare. But clarity swiftly follows, harsh and inescapable. It's not just quiet—it's utterly lifeless.

Homo Deus. AI-Generated.
An Essay on Yuval Noah Harari’s Visionary Work Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow is a bold and thought-provoking exploration of the possible future paths for humankind. As a sequel to his bestselling Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, which detailed the evolution of Homo sapiens from prehistoric times to the modern age, Homo Deus shifts the focus from the past to the future. Harari examines what may come after humans have largely overcome the traditional sources of suffering—famine, disease, and war—and begun striving for immortality, happiness, and god-like powers. The term Homo Deus, meaning “god-man,” symbolizes this transition from humans as vulnerable biological organisms to potentially divine creators and controllers of life.
