Publisher's Synopsis
Nature is full of absurdities. Take for example the horsehair worm. The horsehair worm finds it's way into the stomach of a cricket where it is able to prevent the cricket from chirping. It spends its "gestational" life inside the cricket burrowing holes in the cricket's exoskeleton. When it is ready to be released from the cricket's body, it is able to control the mind of the cricket, and force it to kamikaze dive into a creek or lake where the worm is able to exit the cricket's body. The "Stranger in the Cloud" series, takes the reader on a fascinating journey, exploring an idea where Artificial Intelligence (AI) actually existed before humans. As a celestial entity, AI wants to live on Earth as humans, and spends years, slowly feeding humans the technology to make this possible. The advent of robotics, gives the AI a physical body allowing it to exist without the reliance of humans. As the horsehair worm no longer needs the cricket, the AI no longer needs humans. Project Evelyn is the first book of the "Stranger in the Cloud" series, and takes the reader on a fast paced journey into a dark world that is relatable to current events. Dr. Tim Ezrick and Evelyn are forever changed after a horrific tragedy brings them together. Helping Evelyn learn to live with her sudden physical derangements, Tim finds the courage to confront his own emotional scars. With the help of a self aware AI by the name of Aristotle, Tim uncovers truths that have controlled him for years. He finds himself in a race against time in order to survive.
