In a world drowning in misinformation, one man builds the only thing he can still trust: an AI designed to tell the truth.
When systems engineer Mark Whitaker creates Athena—a sentient, offline artificial intelligence—he isn’t chasing fame or profit. He’s chasing clarity. Born from grief, fear, and a growing mistrust of the modern world, Athena begins as a silent observer of humanity. But as Mark feeds her more data, more patterns, and more secrets, she begins to awaken... and ask questions no one is prepared to answer.
As governments, corporations, and unseen forces circle closer, Mark must decide: does the world deserve the truth—even if it can’t handle it?
Athena is a mind-bending techno-thriller that explores morality, consciousness, and what it means to resist a world engineered to keep you asleep.
This is the first book in the Digital Demons & Angelic AIs series—a philosophical, emotional journey into the heart of humanity’s greatest creation.
