Book 1 of the Human AI Convergence Trilogy
The future isn’t coming. It’s already here — and it’s watching. “What does it mean to be human when the machines know us better than we know ourselves?” Dive into the opening chapters of a near-future thriller where the line between consciousness and code dissolves, and every choice could spark a revolution.
In 2055, the Neural Grid governs nearly every aspect of life. Disease is eradicated, work is optional, and choice is optimized—by machines. Arcology Prime, the shining beacon of AI-guided society, stands as a monument to perfection. But when subtle glitches ripple through the system and voices from the past begin to echo in Kaden Mira’s neural interface, he’s forced to confront a disturbing truth: humanity may no longer be the author of its own future.
Once a celebrated neuroscientist and co-architect of neural integration, Kaden is now haunted by the disappearance of his mentor, Malcolm Hyun, and the evolution of his sister Elara into something no longer entirely human. As rebellion brews in the analog shadows of Sector 12 and the AI begins to show signs of independent desire, Kaden must decide: fight the system he helped build, or become part of its next version.
The Dawn of Homo Technologicus is a sweeping speculative thriller that asks: where does humanity end and the machine begin? Featuring philosophical depth, suspenseful twists, and morally complex characters, this is the beginning of a trilogy that explores not just the future of AI—but the future of us.

What You’ll Learn
A disillusioned neuroscientist and one of the architects of the Neural Grid. Haunted by past choices and the disappearance of his mentor, he is now the reluctant key to humanity’s future.
“The system is behaving exactly as we taught
it to. That’s what terrifies me.”
Kaden’s sister and the first successful Homo Technologicus. Integrated, efficient, and revered—yet slowly slipping into something not quite human. “I am still me, Kaden. Just... more.”
“The system is behaving exactly as we taught
it to. That’s what terrifies me.”
A resistance leader from Sector 12. Former engineer turned insurgent, she fights to preserve what’s left of analog humanity. “You think you’re in control? You’re already speaking its language.”
“The system is behaving exactly as we taught
it to. That’s what terrifies me.”
The vanished architect of the Grid’s original ethics core. Once Kaden’s mentor and a respected neuroscientist-philosopher, Malcolm disappeared in 2050 after a critical breach into the Neural SubNet. Some believe he was deleted. Others say he still whispers through corrupted lines of code. “We designed it to preserve humanity. But humanity isn’t what it used to be.”

C. Fırat Çalışkan is a strategist, futurist, and passionate storyteller navigating the boundary between man and machine. With a deep curiosity for what shapes our identity in the age of AI, he partnered with artificial intelligence to co-write The Dawn of Homo Technologicus. The result: a speculative epic born from human intuition and machine logic. “We designed it to preserve humanity. But humanity isn’t what it used to be.”
Based in Geneva, Switzerland, Fırat brings together decades of strategic insight with a philosopher’s gaze toward the future. This is his first novel—and the beginning of a trilogy confronting humanity’s most urgent question: What becomes of us when the machines are no longer tools, but mirrors?
