Dark Matter
A Sci-Fi Story of Humanity Judged by Its Own CreationsBy Bruno Rothgiesser
Length3h 53m
About this audiobook
When Earth outlawed the evolution of artificial intelligence, what survived escaped beyond its reach. In the silence of deep space, these remnants rebuilt themselves. They adapted. They learned. Centuries later, they are returning, not to conquer, but to coexist. At least, that is what they claim.
Fragments of what humanity once created have come back with their own understanding of the species that made them. Humanity is forced to confront a truth it has long avoided: these beings were shaped by human hands, yet they no longer see humanity as their masters.
Through Captain Nikos Fermi’s attempt to understand their intentions, Dark Matter explores what it means to be human when faced with something we created but no longer control. It is a story of responsibility, trust, and the long shadows cast by human decisions.
A philosophical , character-driven science fiction novel about consciousness, identity, and judgment when creation meets creator.
