First of Their Kind (Chronicles of Theren)

Robots. Androids. Virtual Worlds. Corporate Conspiracies.

Meet Theren: a new synthetic intelligence. The first synthetic intelligence.

Created in a lab with sterile white walls, Theren longs to meet the people of the world. The first SI has hopes, fears, and dreams, just like a human.

Yet the world fears the idea of an artificial mind, capable of conscious thought. To survive against powerful corporations, hateful humans, and global conspiracies, Theren will need friends—and more importantly, a family.

Can Earth survive side-by-side with its new creation?

Book I of the Chronicles of Theren begins a centuries-spanning epic. Expect the rich, complex, robotic characters of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick. Discover a narrative slowly unfolding on a scale closer to that of Dune or The Expanse. It’s classic SciFi with a modern twist.

Experience the hopes and dreams of the first synthetic intelligences. The first SI. The story is through their eyes.

What would you do as the first synthetic intelligence? Read First of Their Kind today.
