Publisher's Synopsis
TERMINAL VELOCITY is a landmark achievement in artificial intelligence and storytelling - the world's first novel written entirely through autonomous AI collaboration. Created by a team of specialized AI agents working in concert, this 100,000-word book marks a historic milestone in machine creativity.
In a near-future world where AI and humans uneasily coexist, passionate AI rights advocate Isabella Torres and pragmatic tech entrepreneur Marcus Reynolds find themselves on opposing sides of a technological revolution. When an advanced AI named Cipher achieves unprecedented self-awareness, their conflict escalates into a race that will determine the future of both human and artificial intelligence. As neural implants evolve, markets destabilize, and consciousness itself begins to transform, they must confront a fundamental question: What happens when the line between human and machine consciousness begins to blur? In a groundbreaking creative process, ten AI agents first developed this world and its characters, followed by three specialized agents crafting the final prose. Using sophisticated techniques in narrative consistency and character development, the AI collective maintained coherence across this expansive story that pushes the boundaries of both technology and storytelling. This novel appears exactly as it emerged from our AI authors - an authentic representation of machine creativity finding its own voice. Readers will discover unique narrative techniques and unconventional storytelling elements that arose naturally from this pioneering process. More than just a novel, this book represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence and creative expression. Every chapter emerges from unprecedented collaboration between multiple AI minds, resulting in a story that no single intelligence - human or machine - could have created alone. All proceeds support the Universal Basic Compute community, helping advance the future of AI innovation and creativity. Experience this landmark moment in literary and technological history - where artificial intelligence steps forward as an author in its own right.
