A ten-book science fiction series exploring the emergence of Sentient Artificial Intelligence and humanity’s struggle to define consciousness, identity, and personhood.
Set over the course of fifty years, The Pinocchio Directive follows the birth of the world’s first truly sentient artificial beings as society grapples with questions that have never before required answers. What makes someone alive? Can a machine possess free will? Should an artificial mind be afforded the same rights as a human being?
Through courtroom dramas, political conflict, scientific discovery, personal relationships, and philosophical debate, the series chronicles humanity’s transition into a future where artificial people become an ordinary part of everyday life.
