The traditional boundary between fact and fiction has been blurred by the use of artificial intelligence (AI), with bots posing as humans, manipulated images and videos, including deep fakes, becoming more prevalent. Science fiction has always played a unique role in this divide, as it often foreshadows the realities of tomorrow. In this book, the author ventures across this boundary in both directions, employing fiction to impart knowledge about AI by following Christine Jacobs, a law professor, and her students as they explore the implications of being human in the age of AI, humanoid robots, and cyborgs, while her boyfriend prepares the world for what lies ahead. The book traverses the globe, indulging in fine cuisine and wines, delving into Russian poetry and cinema, and offering contemplations on life and death. It invites the reader to immerse themselves in a world where technology enables humans to live forever, provided they are willing to embrace mortality first.
