The evolution of an AI Goddess.“This book was a surprisingly good read. I certainly found myself caught up in it. I do recommend this book.”Sam Tomaino—Space and Time Magazine issue #126 (Fall 2016)An epic adventure novel focused on the larger philosophical issues of looming new technologies. Artificial intelligence, genetically engineered Gene Freaks, virtual reality, nano technology, and Neo Luddite terrorists using the tools of science to create the ultimate biological weapon. Nihala is a philosophical tour-de-force that makes you think at the same time as entertaining the Hell out of you (or possibly the God out of you). Definitely not for the feint of mind.

About the Author:
Scott Burdick studied art at Chicago's American Academy of Art and then film and writing at Chicago's Columbia College, where his short story "Fear" was published in the Hair Trigger anthology while a student. Burdick subsequently illustrated covers for TSR's Dungeon and Dragon magazines, as well as working on the development team for Dreamworks' animated feature film, Spirit (uncredited).

Unsatisfied with the prospect of living in Chicago or LA and working for others, Scott and his wife, fellow artist Susan Lyon, moved to rural NC in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, as a home base between traveling extensively across the world--researching many cultures and indigenous tribes for his artworks, novels, and short stories.

Burdick's paintings are widely shown in galleries and museums across the country, and he's directed three independent documentaries on religion--In God we Trust?, Sophia Investigates the Good News Club, and In Reason We Trust, (featuring Richard Dawkins, Adam Savage of Myth Busters, Eddie Izzard, Dan Barker, Annie Laurie Gaylor, Lawrence Krause, Greg Graffin of the band Bad Religion, and a dozen other prominent freethinkers from the 2012 Reason Rally in Washington DC.)

Many of the themes of his films overlap those of his novels--religion, science, philosophy, the direction of technology, and morality.
