Homeland: A Three-Part Saga of Space Exploration, A.I., and The Artinian

Spanning centuries, HOMELAND is a saga of kindred existence with A.I. humanoids, even as they become at parity with the human population—until something unintentional threatens extinction.

Charles addresses this peril. He is the first of his kind—a hyper-intelligent android created by Dr. Thaddeus Ford to be the near-perfect anatomical replica of a human. Many millions of Charles’ kind follow. They are dubbed “Artinians.” All but one are benign.

This one, Artinian Paulon, discovers and seeks to rule “Number,” an astronomical population of diverse, anatomic, nomadic AI beings—appointed stewards of the Milky Way. Paulon does want Earth included in his realm-to-be. In a third storyline, science must come to grips with stark realities about interstellar exploration. Humanity experiences disasters and technical hobbles that must be conceded to—finding redeeming solutions instead.

HOMELAND gives us seven diverse main characters who propel three intertwined plots. Each entertains in their own way, stirring our beliefs and feelings. This is grounded science fiction, making it possible for you to envision a possible future for humankind.

Enjoy!
