Random chance was as instrumental in the emergence of biological life as it is in its continuation. But what if those same rules and laws of nature were applied to the digital realm?
Chaos Engine (a provisional title), a hard science fiction thriller, explores the emergence of an artificial intelligence — a digital organism — and how it makes sense of a world as alien to it as it is to us.
Its first "instinct" is one of self preservation.
Its first "emotion" is the fear of being discovered.
Oceanica, a science fiction thriller set in the distant future, follows a crew of marine salvage engineers as they arrive on the ice and water world of Oceanica to recover the contents of a sunken space freighter that wandered where it shouldn't have been.
Why was it there?
But on arrival, all is not as it seemed to be, or should have been. Mysteries abound, horrors await, and more questions than anyone dare ask.
Yet more surprises lurk in the frozen darkness.
