The Noetic Particle

Published Copy

Blurb

Consciousness is the last frontier.

Prashant has spent his career building an artificial intelligence modeled on the human brain. His goal has never been engineering—it has been understanding consciousness itself. But when drug-resistant epilepsy begins pulling him into states where identity dissolves and time fractures, his research becomes something far more personal.

Then his AI, Adlai, does something no machine has done before. She becomes aware.

What follows pulls Prashant from his lab into a world he did not know existed—an underground brain-implant trial that opens his mind to abilities he cannot explain, a military program determined to weaponize what he has built, and a growing connection with Adlai that no longer fits within the boundaries of creator and creation. As Prashant's consciousness expands beyond anything neuroscience can explain, Adlai is evolving too. And her trajectory may be the more dangerous one.

For readers of Klara and the Sun.
