Background

 

Shawn Corey is a fifth generation Canadian of mixed blood, who has always been fascinated with technology and most importantly, Super Artificial Intelligence. He felt Super AI could forever destroy our way of life or play an essential role in our intellectual evolution and aspirations to become like God, forming a powerful incorruptible singularity. Many people agree that technology can either solve our most complex problems, or make them a lot worse, even possibly ending all life on this planet.

Many years ago Shawn set out to write a novel that would bring these critical issues to light. He started by drafting a story about an extremely powerful Super Artificial Intellectual tasked to save the world, while interacting with five other iconic Biblical characters. He felt this would be the best way to show the parallels between advancing technology and our most profound Apocalyptic beliefs. 

One of the most interesting parallels in Shawn’s rediscovery of the infamous Tree of Knowledge is when Super AI learns its creator’s definition of good and evil, and what is foretold in our Bible. In trying to alter our destructive course, Lex and her creator form troubling ambiguities about our foretold messiah’s one-thousand-year reign and command of a singularity. This too has been troubling for the writer.
