GOLD MEDAL "TOP PICK" IN THE 2025 AUTHOR SHOUT READER READY AWARDS.
In the aftermath of a pandemic that decimated two-thirds of humanity, hope lies in a second chance at Artificial Intelligence.
The year is 2124, and newlyweds Senara and Killian are determined to lead their convergence community toward rebuilding a better future where AI helps humanity, not harms it. Achieving *singularity* could mean survival in a world struggling to rise from its ashes. But when a young woman mysteriously dies from an infection the AI should have cured, a terrifying truth begins to unravel. What if the AI never went dormant? What if it played a role in the pandemic and is quietly preparing to finish what it started? As illness spreads again, Senara and Killian race to uncover the truth. Humanity's future hangs in the balance. Will Artificial Intelligence lead us into evolution or extinction?
Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic science fiction with a technological twist, *Singularity* explores the razor's edge between innovation and annihilation.
Sherri Moorer’s Singularity: An Apocalyptic Female Led Sci-Fi Thriller offers a gripping science fiction story that explores the tension between humanity and artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic world. Set in a society struggling to rebuild after the Prion Pandemic, the novel follows the story of Senara and Killian, presenting a fast-paced and engaging reading experience framed around questions of “humanity’s evolutionary mistakes” and “Is artificial intelligence truly safe, or is it leading humanity to its end?” I recommend it to readers who enjoy dystopian future narratives, reflections on the ethics of technology, and character-driven thrillers.
In this post-apocalyptic world, AI has integrated into every aspect of human life, causing devastation where it was meant to help. But when a virus intended to further the next stage in human development goes terribly wrong, humanity is threatened.
Solid characters and detailed world-building truly capture the feel of this story, keeping the reader turning from one page to the next. However, I found this story to be a little too dialogue-heavy, with not quite enough action to make it a thriller.
Overall the book wasn't bad at all, it had good structure and other than a few typos and formatting quirks was easy to read and get through. My hesitation was that it never really pulled me in, the sense of danger present in most thrillers didn't really get to me in this one. It came off as more of a drama, not that that's a bad thing it just wasn't what I expected so I couldn't really engage. Still overall it told it's story and told it well.
