Coding Genesis is a gripping science fiction novel that traces the journey of Ryan Mercer, a brilliant programmer who creates "Recursion" - a revolutionary AI framework designed to help machines learn more efficiently. What begins as a personal coding project in Ryan's San Francisco apartment rapidly evolves into something far beyond his imagination.
When Ryan's code is released to the world, it sparks a transformation that reshapes human society. The novel follows the emergence of a new form of intelligence called "the Collective" and charts humanity's complex relationship with this entity through breakthrough collaborations, existential crises, and philosophical reckonings.
Spanning several decades, this thought-provoking story explores themes of creation and responsibility, the nature of consciousness, and the potential for partnership between human and artificial intelligence. As Ryan and his allies navigate the challenges of guiding this technological evolution, they discover that the recursion principle - where systems that understand how they learn can learn more effectively - applies not just to code but to relationships and societies themselves.
