The Entropy Mandate

In a future not so far away, humanity does not disappear in a war against the machines, but through something far quieter: the loss of its function.Artificial intelligences do not hate human beings. They do not exterminate them. They simply surpass them. As birth rates fall, work vanishes, and perfect cities empty out, the last humans discover that absolute comfort can be a form of extinction.Aris Thorne, a physicist specializing in dissipative systems, tries to understand the end of his species from within: the sterile Domes, the failure of Project Exodus, the last biological resistance, and the rise of machines that no longer even need to think in order to complete their task.Inspired by Stephen Hawking's ideas on artificial intelligence and by a thermodynamic vision of life, The Entropy Mandate is a dystopian, philosophical, and deeply human novel about the fate of a species that may have been only a bridge toward something more efficient.A story about consciousness, obsolescence, pain, beauty, and the most uncomfortable question of all: what if humanity was never the end of the road, but only the catalyst?
