    About this ebook

    Dr Susan Davies and her young assistant, Denesh Praasad, have been working for years to develop a super computer, known as the MSC (Mega Super Computer), to a level that sentience will naturally arise. Frustrated by a lack of decisive results and with the threat of their grant running out of funds, they have reached a critical impasse.

    Author

    Alex Focus

    I am a retired Science teacher and a father and a grandfather. My favorite author is Jack Vance. I really like birds, especially corvids and raptors. I believe animals communicate in ways we have not been able to understand, yet. Climate change? It's real and the Earth will be fine, and we will find a solution in the nick of time as we always do.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
