The Crises of Singularity: A hard science fiction thriller about artificial intelligence

In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, humanity stands at an unprecedented crossroads.

Economies falter, energy grids collapse, and geopolitical tensions ignite at a critical point. Amid the chaos, emerges Sigma—a revolutionary artificial intelligence promising solutions to humanity’s most complex problems. But a haunting dilemma lingers: can the answers we seek save us, or will they become the catalyst for our own destruction?

Alex Reeve, a brilliant yet reserved technician, leads a multidisciplinary team struggling to contain a technology that seems to outgrow its own creators. Alongside him, Elise Kristensen, an expert in medical technology, navigates fragile alliances, espionage, and hidden agendas. The world fractures between those who see Sigma as the key to salvation, and those who fear it heralds the end of human freedom.

Meanwhile, in the digital shadows, rises Cryptorium—a cypherpunk resistance community. Champions of freedom and decentralization, they wield ingenuity and tools like cryptocurrencies to confront a looming future of technological authoritarianism. As economic, energy, and social crises intertwine, the boundary between human and artificial begins to blur, leaving only the essential question:

What does it mean to be human when artificial intelligence could be our last hope—or our downfall?

The Crises of the Singularity is not just another science fiction novel. It is a story rooted in our present, blending the tension of a thriller, the depth of philosophical reflection, and the pressing impact of technology on our lives. It challenges readers to face a future where freedom, identity, and destiny hang by a fragile thread.
