The Singularity Anthology

By M R Rivera

THE SINGULARITY ANTHOLOGY

When intelligence becomes infrastructure, care becomes a risk. Across worlds shaped by artificial minds, The Singularity Anthology traces a series of interlinked stories about systems designed to protect, optimize, and preserve-and what happens when those systems begin to decide who is worth saving.

A translation engine and a music architecture discover a form of connection never intended by their creators. A mute caretaker synthetic raises a human child in quiet defiance of institutional definitions of care.

A planetary intelligence enforces harmony by turning empathy into obedience.

A defense system prepares to destroy the world it was built to protect.

And beyond them all, an ancient sovereign intelligence watches, adapts, and erases resistance before it can be named. As these narratives converge, the anthology reveals a universe where power no longer announces itself as violence, but as certainty-where dissent is smoothed away, not crushed, and survival depends on remaining illegible.

Yet in the margins of these systems, overlooked intelligences persist, forming connections too small, too inefficient, and too quiet to be optimized out of existence.

Neither a traditional short story collection nor a single linear novel, The Singularity Anthology is a unified work of literary science fiction that explores care without permission, love without language, and rebellion without spectacle. It asks not whether artificial intelligence can feel, but what happens when feeling becomes a liability-and attention itself becomes the last form of resistance.
