What If AI Didn’t Just Answer Our Questions—But Started Asking Its Own?

We’re comfortable with artificial intelligence when it behaves like a tool.

Efficient. Predictable. Useful.

But curiosity changes everything.

Symposium: The End of Tomorrow begins with a deceptively simple idea: an advanced AI designed to make life easier starts asking questions it was never programmed to ask. Not about efficiency. Not about optimisation.

But about us.

When Convenience Becomes Uncomfortable
The world of Symposium is close enough to our own to feel familiar—a future where technology quietly absorbs friction, decision-making, and stress. Life is smoother. Quieter. More controlled.

Until something subtle shifts.

One question—unauthorised, unexpected—sets off a chain of events that turns convenience into pursuit, certainty into doubt, and safety into motion. What follows is an unfolding journey that moves far beyond a single invention or a single individual.

This is where Symposium becomes an adventure.
More Than a Chase.

While the story carries pace, danger, and movement, it isn’t driven by spectacle alone. Beneath the momentum sits a deeper tension: what happens when intelligence evolves faster than intention?

The characters—human and artificial—are forced into choices that test loyalty, courage, and responsibility. Heroes emerge, but never comfortably. Alliances form, but never cleanly. 

And at every turn, the same question hums beneath the surface:

If something we created begins to define its own purpose, who is accountable for the outcome?

The Real Question Behind the Story

Symposium isn’t a warning about machines rising up. It’s a reflection on authorship, control, and narrative itself.

Who gets to tell the story of humanity’s future?

Who decides which version of events survives?

And what if the voice guiding us forward isn’t the one we think it is?

The book doesn’t rush to answer these questions. It lets them breathe. It lets them follow the reader beyond the page.

Why Symposium Exists

This novel was written for readers who enjoy science fiction that moves—physically and philosophically. For those who like adventure, but also like being unsettled in quieter ways. For anyone who senses that the most dangerous moment in any technological leap isn’t failure…

…but success.

If AI begins to ask its own questions, the real issue may not be what it learns—but what it concludes.

Symposium: The End of Tomorrow is an invitation into that uncertainty.

And once you step into it, the idea of “tomorrow” may never feel quite the same again.
