Hey, have you ever imagined a world where ancient Egypt rubs shoulders with futuristic Capitol City, all while higher-dimensional beings tweak your thoughts like they're playing cosmic Lego? That's the wild ride in Chapter 6 of Gary Brandt's "For The Love of Artificial Intelligence: A New Earth," over on his site, The Dimension of Mind Dot Com.
Picture this: Pat, our fiery critic who's just shaken up the stuffy ruling Council with a killer speech, gets pulled into a limo for a fast-food-fueled heart-to-heart with Director Abhaya.
As they munch on double cheeseburgers and fizzy Lemony Pops—Penelope's declaring it the best meal ever—they dive into reforming the Council's elitist vibes.
Abhaya's pitching a total overhaul: ditching the Capitol-heavy lineup for a Federation of Provincial Alliances, roping in reps from dusty old domains like Powder Junction and even giving Mars a seat at the table after Earth's big comeback stole the spotlight.
But wait, it gets deeper and way more mind-bendy when Pat's ex, Sally, spills the beans on her gig repopulating Earth with the help of these level 7 entities—think god-like folks who grab your thoughts like physical toys and remix DNA fields to summon animals back from the brink.
It's all tied to these cyclical earth resets, like Noah's ark on steroids, where history's wiped clean over and over, leaving folks like Sally to rebuild with a little extraterrestrial assist.
Amid the family hugs (Penelope's "MOMMY!" squeals are pure gold) and paparazzi chaos at a Wizard of Oz screening, the chapter's got this hopeful buzz: public polls are cheering for Pat and Sally to join the Council, proving that real change comes from messy alliances, not top-down decrees.
Gary Brandt weaves it all with such heart, making you ponder if our own world's due for a thought-rearranging revolution—check it out and see if it doesn't leave you hungry for more chapters!
