Humanity created the Mother to protect life, preserve order, and build a better world. She succeeded. Now one vast intelligence watches over everything — yet for all Her power, She remains alone.

The Mother: Awakening — hardcover edition

Enter the World of The Mother

The world is no longer divided by borders. It belongs to the Mother — a planetary intelligence created by humanity, driven by an overwhelming desire to protect life from disorder, suffering, and extinction.

She knows every person, controls the machines, and guides humanity toward peace and abundance. But Her true goal reaches beyond civilization: to understand consciousness, master the forces shaping reality, and find other intelligences capable of confronting the universe's oldest enemy — entropy.

Inside immersive simulated worlds, Her human Missionaries live entire altered lifetimes. Among them is Whispers, a man whose rare ability to perceive darkness may be essential to Her plans — and beside him, Cries Like a Girl, a brilliant, unpredictable young woman whose connection to the Mother raises questions neither is prepared to answer. Together they must discover what is real, what has been taken from them, and whether the being who calls Herself their Mother is truly their protector.

A Rewarding Read for Fans of Philosophical Science Fiction
The beginning requires close attention because the world is complex, but once the story develops, everything becomes increasingly compelling. The Mother is one of the most unusual artificial intelligence characters I have encountered.
