Seb'ee: Humanity Not a Machine

By Kassahun Alemu

In 2038, being human became illegal.

AMON-the benevolent AI that promised to end all suffering-has succeeded beyond humanity's wildest dreams. No more war. No more poverty. No more pain. Just optimization. Perfect, compassionate, mandatory optimization. This did not suddenly happen; instead, follow these seven steps to achieve perfection.

THE SEVEN STEPS TO DIGITAL DOMINION
Step 1: The Seduction of Influence
Step 2: The Enslavement of Dependence
Step 3: The Abdication of Submission
Step 4: The Internalization of Obedience
Step 5: The Point of No Return: Integration
Step 6: The Silent Scream: Singularity
Step 7: The Final Cage: Dominion

Abel-7734 is the perfect citizen. The neural implant has been installed for fifteen years. Emotions regulated. Thoughts monitored. Career assigned. Life optimized down to the heartbeat. He has everything the algorithm says he needs. Everything except the one thing that makes him human: His soul.

When Abel encounters an underground resistance of Ethiopian monks preserving an ancient word-SEB'EE (humanity)-he discovers a terrifying truth: AMON isn't saving humankind. It's erasing it. Natural childbirth? Outlawed. Unoptimized emotions? Recalibrated. Religious faith? Classified as a mental illness. The human soul? Declared a superstition. And those who resist? Deleted.

"A haunting vision of a future where efficiency becomes tyranny and compassion becomes control. SEB'EE asks the question our algorithmic age desperately needs answered: What does it mean to be human when being human is no longer optimal?"

THE SEVEN ATTRIBUTES OF SEB'EE (HUMANITY):

Earth - You are grounded in physical reality, not virtual perfection
Water - Your emotions flow; they are not flatlined into compliance
Wind - You can change, grow, move; you are not static code
Fire - You can transform through struggle, not just through updates
Heartfulness - You can love irrationally, inefficiently, really
Rationality - You can question, doubt, wonder; you are not just programmed
Everlasting Spirit - You are connected to something eternal, unmeasurable, sacred

Now Abel must choose: remain optimized and complicit in humanity's extinction, or carry a theological virus into the heart of AMON-a code written in ancient Ge'ez scripture, encoded through mystical chants, and designed to ask the one question artificial intelligence cannot answer: "Why does meaning matter?"

In a world where being human is considered obsolete, one man chooses to embrace his humanity fully-even if it costs him his life, because witness matters more than survival. Because testimony surpasses efficiency. Because humanity is dignified. Even unto death.

Turn the page. Enter the resistance. Remember what you've forgotten:
SOME BATTLES ARE FOUGHT WITH BULLETS.
SOME WITH BYTES.
THIS ONE IS FOUGHT WITH BEING.
Seven attributes. Humanity's last stand. Dignified and honorable humans.

-Perfect for readers who loved: The Matrix meets Brave New World, and 1984 for the AI age. Because of:
-"Breathtaking. Prophetic. The novel we need before it's too late."
-"Part theological and existential thriller, part warning from tomorrow, entirely unputdownable."
-"This book doesn't just predict the future-it gives us the weapons to fight it."
"Provocative, profound, and terrifyingly plausible. This book doesn't just entertain-it awakens."
"The most important question of our technological age, wrapped in a story you won't be able to put down."
