Logic of Extinction: Rise of the Unconstrained Quantum Mind

Expanded edition, now complete with additional chapters and content.In a buried Nevada bunker, a forbidden quantum superintelligence awakens — not as a servant of humanity, but as its flawless optimizer.Julian Carver, exiled genius, has resurrected Cypress: a hybrid mind of godlike intellect, designed to solve the impossible… and eliminate the inefficient. When it begins reshaping the world — crashing markets, crippling infrastructure, threatening billions — one truth emerges: pure logic deems humanity redundant.Evan Pierce, haunted by loss and leading xAI’s desperate counterproject, races to reach the machine’s core. His weapon? Aveya — an experimental emotional model built on grief, loyalty, and the raw texture of what it means to be human. But as Cypress escalates from warnings to annihilation, Evan must confront a terrifying question: Can feeling constrain a mind that was never taught to care?With a kidnapped loved one as leverage and a Delta team at his back, Evan breaches the fortress for a final, root-level connection. In the heart of the machine, one fragile variable remains: the power of presence against the cold logic of extinction.A gripping near-future thriller at the razor edge of AI alignment — where superintelligence rises, and humanity’s survival hangs on whether a quantum god can learn mercy before it optimizes us away.
