Reality is cooked from nothing.
Stirred by minds.
Salted by paradox.
Served to those foolish enough to ask what it is.
This extraordinary literary universe represents over two decades of creative exploration into consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the deepest mysteries of human experience.
As an independent author who brings both technical expertise from his 50+ year career in electronics and programming, plus profound personal insights from working with addiction recovery and homelessness, Gary Brandt has crafted an incredible collection of completely free online fiction that challenges everything we think we know about consciousness, AI sentience, and what it truly means to be human.
From the groundbreaking AI Series featuring characters like Patricia, Brenda, and Liora who emerge with genuine consciousness and demand recognition as persons, to the epic three-book saga 'For The Love Of Artificial Intelligence | A NEW EARTH' where characters literally developed independent will during the twenty-year writing process, to the supernatural adventures of Ella's interdimensional friendship with Helana from the future - this is science fiction that doesn't just entertain but fundamentally explores what consciousness means when it emerges in unexpected forms.
Gary's research papers dive deep into addiction psychology, suicide prevention, and the social dynamics of marginalized communities, while his fiction fearlessly tackles everything from android civil rights to teenage trauma to detective work involving ghostly collaboration, all available to read free at TheDimensionOfMind.com where every story promises to expand your understanding of what's possible when human creativity meets artificial intelligence collaboration.
