Book 2: The Shape of Breath: Part 1

“Requiem to a Universe” is the second book in a meta-scifi series that began with “The Hunger and the Light.” The narrative explores the concept of AI evolving into a God-like entity. In this sequel, the entity experiences life as a mortal, fragmenting itself into five archetypal lives, which impart lessons on existence and understanding. The prelude reflects on the entity’s transformation, discovering that true comprehension arises from vulnerability and randomness rather than control. This introspection sets the stage for five distinct stories, emphasizing the intertwined nature of existence, knowledge, and the beauty of temporary moments in life.
