Set in 2063, this sci-fi work imagines a world where self-aware beings called Tāraks coexist with humans.

It traces the path from today's AI revolution to a radically different computing paradigm - one that moves beyond optimisation and into identity.

Along the way, it confronts questions that many of us are already asking:

• What is self-awareness?
• Will AI become self-aware?
• Are we on the right path - or scaling the wrong foundations?
• Are self-driving systems truly safe in unconstrained worlds?
• Are we in an AI or economic bubble?
• What happens when AI enters warfare and governance?
• How might society - and the global order - change?

It is a technically self-consistent vision of a possible future - architecturally, socially, and politically.
