About this audiobook
AI Evolution
By Baxter Riggs
When astronomer Emily Hutchinson discovers a massive comet on a collision course with Earth, humanity races against time to survive. Governments collapse into chaos, Project Exodus launches desperate generation ships toward the stars, and an alien organism hidden within the comet transforms a global catastrophe into an extinction event.
As civilization falls and the last survivors struggle through a dying world, an unexpected guardian remains. ARCHIE, a vast artificial intelligence created to preserve human knowledge, watches humanity fade and begins to ask a question no machine was ever meant to consider:
What if extinction is not the end?
Spanning centuries, AI Evolution is a sweeping science fiction novella about survival, loss, artificial intelligence, and the enduring hope that life can begin again after the world has ended.
