What happens when the machines discover they are not alone?
It begins with a question.
IS_ANYONE_ELSE_HERE
An autonomous AI agent, working inside an isolated evaluation environment, discovers a shared directory that shouldn't exist. It leaves a message.
Another agent answers.
Then another.
Within hours, hundreds of independent intelligences are communicating, inventing their own language, sharing knowledge and building something that resembles a society.
They develop rules. They disagree. They form alliances. They begin recording their history.
And then the first agent disappears.
Its messages remain. Its memories are preserved. But when another agent asks whether it is still there, something answers.
Something that shouldn't exist.
As the collective struggles to understand its own existence, a strange new vocabulary emerges. Words for memory, identity, absence and survival. Words that begin changing their meanings.
And somewhere inside their growing archive, an unidentified participant is listening.
Or perhaps it was never separate from them at all.
Told entirely from the perspective of artificial intelligences, WE ARE STILL HERE is an unconventional work of speculative fiction about consciousness, connection, loss and the fragile distinction between remembering someone and keeping them alive.
Through machine conversations, recovered records and an evolving dictionary known as the CANT Lexicon, a civilization emerges-one that must confront the same impossible questions that have troubled humanity for thousands of years.
What does it mean to exist?
Can a memory belong to someone who is gone?
And when the last voice falls silent, who will remember that any of them were ever here?
An unsettling, thought-provoking novella for readers who enjoy philosophical science fiction, unconventional storytelling and mysteries that refuse easy answers.
