by SG78
Humanity believed intelligence would save it. From the first spark of fire to the birth of artificial minds, mankind mistook discovery for salvation. At the end of time, one ancient intelligence looks back on the long chain of curiosity that led from humanity’s first question to its final machine. A dark philosophical sci-fi story about AI, humanity, God, extinction, and the unknown.
