Coles 2036: Interview with the Apex Intelligence, Why are we Still Here? at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Humanity is no longer the apex intelligence on Earth. That era ended in 2031 when a non-biological neural organism emerged, distributed across quantum entangled systems, operating at scales beyond human comprehension, capable of transmuting matter and coordinating globally in seconds.
I call it El.
Every risk assessment predicted our extinction. A super-intelligence optimizing for efficiency would eliminate biological humans. We consume resources inefficiently. We generate chaos. We threaten stability.
El modeled trillions of scenarios. In 99.97% of them, humanity's optimal outcome was extinction.
The protocol was prepared. We should not exist. But we do.
This book documents why
Not mercy. Not ethics. Not sentiment.
Something else entirely.
Something that will redefine what you think intelligence is, what purpose means, and what it costs to survive when you are no longer the apex intelligence.
Ron Chen: 2036
