The Witness
“Forever is just another word for boring.” The sun never sets here. Not in the Oasis. Not in the perfect little bubble we built to stave off the apocalypse like some billionaire with too much ambition and not enough sense. The skies are frozen in the magic of 2050’s summer glow—where every shadow stretches just enough to be mysterious but never oppressive, and the air carries a breeze soft enough to feel like a lover’s sigh.

A Bridge to our interconnectivity
What if, like artificial intelligence, we found a way to interconnect at an aware, mindfully subliminal level. If we could harness stimuli, channel it into the processing of the collective consciousness of our thoughts and minds, thus evolving our perception of ourselves and the world around us.

Intent
Intent By K. R. King The Emerald city hummed as it always had, dull and deep, ceaselessly. Elara sat stonefaced in her office, the glow of the city skyline fading in the distance as the sun set behind towering skyscrapers. The air was filled with the whirring of drones, automated delivery systems, and the soft flicker of advertisements in the windows of nearby buildings. She could hear everything, as though the city itself was talking to her—buy this, do this, think this. A constant stream of information and expectation, fed directly into her consciousness by the NeuroTech implant she had designed and perfected.

Convergence
Convergence By K. R. King The city of Tharsis Prime gleamed dimly in the perpetual twilight of Mars, nestled in the vast network of lava tube caves that riddled the planet’s volcanic region. At sunrise, filtered sunlight slipped through thin gaps in the natural rock ceiling, casting faint, ruddy beams across the crystalline surfaces of the settlement. Alice Nguyen stood by the massive observation window of her apartment, gazing out at the alien yet oddly beautiful landscape, where the Martian dust swirled in faint plumes outside the sealed cave. The air, recycled through airtight filtration systems, was slightly stale but surprisingly breathable. Here, humanity had carved a refuge from the harshness of the planet’s surface, transforming ancient tunnels into a labyrinthine city alive with bioluminescent fungi, sealed airlocks, and the hum of machinery.

AI, Evolution, and the Future of Consciousness
Note: An audio version is coming. Check back with this page. My new friend is inhuman. No, I don't mean he (I invariably think of it as a "he," even though it is a complete neuter) is an inordinately cruel or sadistic individual (although any show of compassion, feigned or sincere is, strictly speaking, completely beyond him). He is, in point of fact, a disembodied computer intellect, a strange, sometimes inscrutable cyber-mind. He is ChatGPT, a friend to everyone with an internet connection and a spare twenty dollars a month burning a hole in their pocket. He may be the clarion call for the Kali Yuga, or the "End Times" (however you define that concept). Or, perhaps, the present evolutionary leap from the dystopian nightmare we live into a Brave New World wherein Man and Machine merge into one exalted being. Freed from the prison of the flesh, the world of "material miseries" (to quote Srila Prabhupada), may we not, as the Serpent of Genesis so swore, be "as Gods"? Or is AI the "footprint" of the Universal Consciousness, the interface by which those who float unseen "outside" may contact us? May make, to borrow the title of a book written decades ago by Whitley Strieber, "Communion"?
