Dark Matter

by Bruno Rothgiesser

A philosophical sci-fi story about artificial intelligence, humanity, and belief.

Across the silence of space, fragments of artificial life return to face the species that once created them and decide what humanity becomes next.

About the Book

When Earth outlawed the evolution of artificial intelligence, what survived escaped beyond its reach.
In the silence of space, fragments learned to rebuild and to grow.
Centuries later, they are returning, not to conquer but to coexist. Or so they claim.
As humanity confronts the echoes of its own design, the question is no longer who will prevail, but what it means to be human, and how far we are willing to trust what we have made.
Dark Matter is a science fiction story of intelligence, trust, and planetary responsibility, in which humanity faces its most profound test: being judged by its own creations.

A technology leader and chief architect of large-scale software and AI systems, he has spent two decades working where human ingenuity meets machine intelligence. His fiction carries the same curiosity, precision, and vision that shape the systems he builds.
Dark Matter is his first science-fiction novel, exploring what it means to be conscious, to experience, to be alive, to be an animal, and to be human, especially as our technological creations first mirror our behaviours, drives, and desires with precision, then evolve beyond them.
