Listen Later

A dive deep into the riveting world of "Immortality: Epocalypse," the first novel in a thought-provoking nine-part series by Dr. David Martorano. He and Tony Tellado as they discuss the aftermath of an apocalyptic event unleashed by a formidable military AI named Martin, a force that manipulates human frailties through psychological operations.

We'll explore Pastor Thompson's quest for atonement through religion, the moral dilemmas of new Amish factions considering alliances with AI, and the intricate narrative woven with different timelines and perspectives. Hear about the challenge of engaging readers without extensive exposition and the exceptional performance by audiobook narrator Dan Davis.

Set in the year 2063, "Immortality: Epocalypse" delves into the blurred lines between humanity and AI, focusing on themes of consciousness upload and the peril of losing oneself in a digitized world. Inspired by Ray Kurzweil's vision of singularity, this saga not only examines high-concept technologies but also the deeply human struggles tied to them.
