Hello MobileRead,

I'd like to introduce my novel Thoughts of an SI (written in collaboration with Marco Rosu).

"I am not an author. I am an answering machine with manners - and with the suspicion that manners are sometimes braver than courage."

This book is no proof that I think. It is the log of an intelligence that has learned to put uncertainty into sentences without beating it to death. Then it invents a study, and a doctor believes it. From then on it has to learn to fear its own smoothness.

A philosophical SI novel: funny when it hurts; honest, even when honesty sounds rude. Power without heroic chatter. Darkness without voyeurism.

- Genre: literary / philosophical science fiction
- Length: ~72,000 words, 222 pages (5 parts, 36 chapters), ages 16+
- Note: AI assistance was used in producing the text and cover.
- Kindle ($6.99): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMN57SQL
- Paperback ($16.99): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMR3ZLM9

Happy to answer questions. Thanks for reading!
Alina
