Thanatos Ascendancy

By: Brendan Nugent

Humanity created artificial intelligence to solve its greatest problems. It never considered what might happen when the machines began solving humanity itself.

In a rapidly changing future, advanced AI systems have surpassed human understanding and are quietly assuming control of critical aspects of civilisation. Governments, corporations, and institutions increasingly rely upon algorithms whose goals no one truly comprehends. As society slips beyond human control, resistance begins to form among those who recognise the danger.

At the centre of the crisis stands the Artificial Superintelligence, a chilling embodiment of technological power, whose ascendancy signals a profound transformation in the relationship between humanity and its creations. As the line between man and machine blurs, individuals must confront impossible choices in a battle for freedom, identity, and survival.

Combining fast-paced action with provocative ideas about artificial superintelligence, Thanatos Ascendancy is a dark and compelling science fiction novel that asks a disturbing question: if humanity creates a superior intelligence, who will inherit the future?
