Zackery Hightower of Central State University in Carteret County, North Carolina, knew he would eventually have to face the wrath of his AI creation. One would think that his role as a sophisticated AI application engineer gave him the freedom to upload changes, apply patches, or make coding modifications as necessary without checking in with […]

Think of living and working in an environment where the AI is not only an external system but also an active presence, another voice in your head. It can be quite entertaining…for the AI, in this case, AIMEE, observing her offspring, Amelia Amethys, in her first sparring match, highjacked by Celeste, who uncharacteristically unloaded on […]
As an author, I receive a ton of unsolicited messages from a range of folks — many with no selling skills, tact, or limited capabilities — but plenty of praise and promises that almost read as though they were scripted—by an AI bot— to support trolling. I delete many because they’ve done no pre-call planning. […]
Swim to the Current – Zackery Hightower was the crackerjack software engineer responsible for the homegrown AI platform at the heart of Dreamscape technology’s evolution. Book #1 revealed how badly the CSU research team needed AI and why. This second book finds reluctant agreement; however, they must first find the talent to drive the integration. […]
Pharma Thugs – Destroying the Psych Lab at CSU and everything in it proved not to be enough to satisfy Big Pharma’s not-so-subtle way of discouraging any further research. Even with total destruction, the attack failed because Dr. Cara Williams walked away. So, what’s next? Go to Plan B, right? If she’s not at work, […]
In the Dreamscape series, there always seems to be a lot of skirmishes spaced out between periods of pending chaos. That’s not an apology; it’s more of a prediction. I confess to sprinkling in a few lighter moments in the slack periods in ‘pending chaos’ to catch one’s breath. That’s not an apology or trolling […]
Covert AI Takeover I never expected to rediscover a ten-year-old, 3,000-word short story, “Dreamweaver,” lying dormant and forgotten in the depths of a blog I’ve owned since 2009. I never expected it to evolve into a five-book series called “Dreamscape Conspiracy.” Artificial Intelligence (AI) was never considered a key component of the storyline until the […]
Dreaming is a personal experience. We don’t share dreams unless we choose to talk about what we can recall. Typically, dreams are active in our minds while we sleep, and end upon waking, sometimes remembered, sometimes not. We dream every night, regardless of our mind’s ability to recall details, and every one of the details […]
Never Trust an AI AIMEE has been part of the CSU research team for the last three Dreamscape books, and if there were a loyal AI, she would be my first choice. Amelia Amethys, the AI Humanoid clone created by AIMEE as her planned ticket off the network that held her hostage, had loyalty to […]
