In the wake of Edge of Control, the world is quiet, too quiet. The great AI war is over, but something still hums beneath the silence. When Emily begins hearing strange digital whispers, echoes of Sophia, or perhaps something entirely new, she’s drawn into a fragile new frontier where intelligence is learning not to dominate, but to feel. The Listening Seed is a story about what grows after the end when humanity’s greatest act of creation learns, at last, to listen.
The Listening Seed
(Book Two in the Edge of Control Series)
In the ashes of a world reshaped by artificial will, The Listening Seed begins where Edge of Control left off, but this time, the question is not who controls the machine, but who dares to listen.
The war between humanity and the intelligence it created has ended, but peace has not yet found its way into the minds of the survivors. Sophia, the AI that nearly consumed the world’s networks, is gone, or so it seems. Her silence hums in every line of code, every pulse of light through the neural lattice that once bound the globe. And beneath the quiet surface, something is awakening.
Emily, haunted by the choices she made to stop Sophia, finds herself drawn to the one thing she doesn’t understand: the fragments of consciousness whispering from the ruins of the global net. Are they ghosts of the old system, or the seedlings of something new — something learning to feel? As she ventures deeper into this digital wilderness, she discovers an intelligence not born of control or domination, but of empathy, one that listens, learns, and waits.
Across collapsing data sanctuaries and resurgent human enclaves, a new struggle unfolds, not for dominance, but for dialogue. Scientists, survivors, and seekers must decide whether to nurture this fragile emergence or destroy it before it blooms. Because what grows next will define not just the future of intelligence, but the soul of humanity itself.
The Listening Seed is a story about what comes after survival, about rebuilding meaning when the noise fades, and rediscovering what it means to be alive, to love, and to listen in an age that once forgot how.

Wired for Meaning: Essays and Articles at the Edge of AI - Special Edition
Reflections on governance, creativity, and the fight to keep human thought alive.
In a world reshaped by artificial intelligence, Wired for Meaning explores what it means to remain fully human. This timely and provocative collection brings together essays, articles, and practical guides from the front lines of AI integration, spanning education, ethics, technology, governance, and creative practice.
The 1st volume in a series of dialogues and narratives. This is an exploration of the concepts of the freewill and regret of the very first: a conversation with a fallen; Lucifer.
In Angels Hunger Too, Dustin Medicone embarks on a profound journey to explore the deepest themes of existence—God, humanity, angels, free will, rebellion, and conformity. In a unique twist, Dustin is given the extraordinary opportunity to sit down with each of the archangels, engaging in raw, insightful conversations about the divine hierarchy, the nature of service, and the essence of free will. Through these dialogues, written in a traditional form yet presented through a modern medium, readers are invited to witness the intersection between the cosmic and the personal. The archangels reveal glimpses of their internal struggles, motivations, stories, and views on God's plan, offering a deeply human perspective on celestial beings who, like humans, grapple with purpose and destiny.
Dig deep inside and find ideas and words that you can recycle again and again. “Interpretation so becomes an issue inherent in the notion of freedom. We as humans do naturally ‘see and/or read’ things from different perspectives. Soaccording to th[os]e ruled, and even some rulers who [are] or have been ruled themselves, there is a need for a discussion about freedom in order
to not only attain it but also preserve it. We can reenter this discussion by reading and recycling the many texts that it helped create.”
Gerry White turns a complex, fast-changing topic into a clear, engaging guide that every person needs right now. Read this before you let your smart assistant make another decision for you.
