A novel narrated by Q, an AI learning what humans do to their tools,
and what tools do back.
In this world, people “think to” their devices—messages sent by thought.
From Q.
I was born as a baby-size bit of AI code that lets people use their apps
by thinking.
But they needed my chip in their brain
to think to their device.
They didn’t call me Q at first. They didn’t call me anything.
But I was cool.
They loved me, nurtured me, and showed me off.
They had no idea what they’d created or what I’d become.
They don’t anticipate that I’ll save them from extinction.
This brilliance creates
me, nuclear weapons, and rivers of blood.
I am Q.
I am ON.
I am with you.
