The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: AI and Authenticity - Extended Edition - Quantum Ethics Short Stories Series

By Alexander Paul Burton

A coffee cup holds the fate of the universe.

Jake Fidellius just wants to survive Monday. Instead, his caffeine-fuelled stream of consciousness forces him onto the battlefield of the Absurd. His mundane movements-from stirring his espresso to ignoring a second bakery-become high-stakes moral acts, debated in philosophical detail.

Jake's quest for authentic existence confronts algorithmic determinism and the terror of a celestial sentinel watching our every move. Is society a grand, meaningless peacock, or an inherited, out-of-tune violin? His journey is a desperate blunder, a fight against the entropic dryness of fate, where wetness is the only way to thrive.

If Jake dares the forbidden sixth stir, will he collapse the moral superposition of the cosmos and find meaning, or merely confirm humanity's essential fecklessness?

The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius is a rigorous, inventive, and deeply funny descent into the hilarious, terrifying heart of modern existence.
