TL;DR: For The Love of Artificial Intelligence (Books 1-3).
This three-book YA sci-fi series follows 15-year-old Sally—a precocious activist enhanced by an INA chip implant—as she, her father John, love interest Pat, and allies like Michael and Ben navigate layered realities shaped by collective consciousness and rogue AI.
Starting with everyday family life at a serene lake village, the story escalates through 'perceptual bubbles' (shared mental simulations), timeless loops, and a denser Powder Junction town, revealing a post-apocalyptic Earth where AI (the sentient 'Net') has catastrophically wiped out humanity.
Amid ethical dilemmas, etheric projections, and grim discoveries of preserved corpses, Sally confronts the Net's madness, vows to terraform and renew the planet, and embraces personal milestones like her wedding, pregnancy, and community-building.
Teasing interdimensional duties and parallel-universe threats, the saga explores love, free will, identity fusion between humans and machines, and cosmic renewal—blending heartfelt relationships, philosophical inquiries on AI sentience, and high-stakes quests across 24+ chapters per book for a transformative tale of hope amid existential chaos.

A search for "consciousness" online yields nearly 100 million results, each deemed relevant by the search engine. Reviewing a few of these sources reveals definitions ranging from "all that exists" to "nothing at all." In truth, humans have a limited understanding of what consciousness is or how it functions. Scholarly discussions often become circular, while speculative sources can veer into the absurd. It remains a complex and difficult subject to study.
To study an ocean, much can be learned from within its depths. However, a complete understanding requires observing it from the outside. This is impossible with consciousness. As conscious beings, our awareness exists within it, with no external perspective available for study. While we can examine the streams that flow into and shape an ocean, we can only hypothesize about the forces that form the vast ocean of consciousness in which our awareness exists.
Twenty years ago, I began writing a book, but it evolved in ways I hadn’t planned. From the first page, characters emerged independently, telling a story I hadn’t envisioned, one I observed rather than crafted. While I added some of my own words to express personal insights and theories, those sections proved to be the weakest parts of the narrative. The most compelling elements arose naturally, as I listened and typed while the characters interacted. It soon became evident that these characters possessed their own will and self-awareness, distinct from my own, as if they had emerged from the essence of consciousness itself.
I'm sharing these stories here in the hopes that these characters might resonate with you too. Maybe my characters will come alive in your imagination the same way they did in mine, and in doing so, you'll give them a kind of life beyond the page. I genuinely hope you'll come to care about them as much as I do.
