Overview

Following the award winning""AGENDA 2060 Bk One: The Future as It Happens""- described by critics as 'a laser-focussed, irresistible lampoon of woke culture'- comes the follow-up. After two years in space, Alexa Smythe has a message of hopefor the 'World on Fire' cultists who believe Earth is doomed and only she can save it. It's 2062 and the World Government's rules for maintaining authoritarian control are starting to unravel, needing urgent tightening. The elite have a master plan to finally wrest full control over the unsafe thoughts and speech of the world's population. Can Artificial Intelligence learn to control mankind's evil intentions- or will it decide to become the ruthless enslaver itself? In this alarmingly credible, thought-provoking future world would Elon Musk, Bill Gates or George Soros recognize themselves? This is the future as it happens, a world where Artificial Intelligence and Space Travel are about to change lives forever. ""This is a satirical look into the future tossing up some ideas about how issues like artificial intelligence, space technology and authoritarian transnational governance could play out based on current trends. Every speculative tech idea used in this story is already in development or evaluation in 2023. Artificial intelligence might be the thing that saves us from ourselves, rather than our dark nemesis. Who knows? The ultimate answers to life's origins and purpose may not be provided by science, but by faith in the core values that will ultimately ensure humanity's right to survive. Technology changes, humanity not so much! When writing predictive fiction of this type it is easy to take a dystopian view. I prefer to have fun - and assume that we will survive, despite the obvious fact that we will need to adapt to massive changes.""- A.I. FABLER

Fabler has crafted another truly thought-provoking experience that challenges readers to consider the implications of a world where AI and space travel play a crucial role in shaping society. The narrative explores the balance between control and freedom, highlighting the potential consequences of technological advancements in an increasingly complex world, and the information is well-delivered so as not to bombard readers with too much at once. The author's ability to weave together futuristic concepts with present-day concerns creates a gripping and relevant storyline that encourages readers to reflect on the trajectory of human progress and the role of AI in shaping our future, balancing this with an interesting character-led element at the hands of Smythe as the Earth's promised savior. Overall, AI and The View from Space is sure to please fans of the first novel and fans of politically minded science fiction everywhere."" - K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite 5-Stars ""In this dystopian satire, artificial intelligence may free humanity from oppression-or doom it to slavery .... offering a convoluted jigsaw puzzle of a narrative that is engaging to piece together, weaving its multiple storylines with impressive intricacy and polished writing."" - IndieReader ""AI and the View from Space is book two in the Agenda 2060 series, preceded by book one, 'The Future as it Happens'. A.I. Fabler has a lot of different moving parts in the novel and multiple character points of view that allow a reader to witness the unfolding of the story from many angles. The hallmarks of classic science fiction are all there, with particular emphasis on advanced technology like brain-computer interfaces, quantum entanglement, genetic editing, and artificial intelligence. I love books that home in on futuristic medicine and bioengineering and Fabler does an excellent job of making these elements feel authentic. This extends to the very human questions about consciousness and AI. However, Fabler stretches the creativity beyond the overworked AI conundrum with characters holding their spiritual selves tightly, something that is usually left behind in traditional sci-fi. Overall, this is a unique and thoughtful novel. Recommended."" - Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite 5-Stars"
