In a novel approach to science fiction storytelling, author Harald Neslein Sandø’s upcoming book ‘Waking Up’ presents a radically hopeful vision of artificial intelligence’s potential to empower human society. Unlike traditional narratives that portray AI as a looming existential threat, the book explores a future where advanced technology collaborates with humanity to create a sustainable, thriving world.
The story follows Benjamin Michaels, a character who awakens from cryonic freezing into a future transformed by a collaborative Global AI. Through this narrative, Sandø challenges contemporary fears surrounding artificial intelligence, suggesting that technology could be a powerful tool for societal evolution rather than a source of destruction.
Central to the novel’s premise is the concept that AI need not represent control, surveillance, or economic disruption. Instead, Sandø envisions a framework where technological advancement creates opportunities for abundance, freedom, and harmonious coexistence between humans and intelligent systems.
As AI development continues to accelerate globally, ‘Waking Up’ arrives at a critical moment, offering an alternative perspective to prevalent anxieties about technological progress. The book invites readers to reimagine the relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence, proposing a future characterized by collaborative problem-solving and shared prosperity.
Sandø’s work draws inspiration from real-world discussions about sustainability, post-scarcity economies, and the transformative potential of technology. By presenting a narrative that emphasizes partnership over conflict, the novel encourages readers to consider more nuanced, optimistic approaches to understanding artificial intelligence.
The e-book is scheduled for release on May 2, 2025, targeting science fiction enthusiasts, futurists, and those interested in exploring the complex intersection of technology and human potential. Through ‘Waking Up’, Sandø invites readers to contemplate a future where technological advancement serves as a catalyst for collective progress and mutual understanding.
