Three who become legend rise in the ranks. The first full volume of Still Light. Covers the birth of AI and posthumanity, and the hidden cabal of mystical powers that control humanity’s fate.
The three begin their rise to power, joining the mystical ranks of Abraxas.
We begin an age of war unlike any known before, as individual soldiers are given the ability to change nations. An old rival is reborn as a terrifying ally, and an artificial intelligence intended to be a slave finds a new freedom at the heart of Amenti.

Still Light

The Gods, When Mortal: The Future Begins (2020-2042)

The troubled childhood of the first posthuman as it is shaped by destiny
As the triad ascends into the holy sanctuary of Amenti as the all-powerful Ogdoad, the child created from Feng’s failure grows up, caught between plans thousands of years old and the desires of its own heart.
A friend from the deep past is reborn, to become the seed for unhumanity, just as Zu is the seed for posthumanity.

The Construct's Childhood: The Troubled Training of the First Posthuman (2048-2059)

Sometimes, honour and bravery can win a reprieve from destiny. A story of hope and despair, as Artificial intelligences, posthumans, and other minds struggle against their fates.
 
Amongst other events...
The too-biological Zee leaves, feeling the call of an older blessing than the ones her peers have received.
An old man, who knows more than he should, arrives at the school, to try and show Zu that here is a path other than the one others have demanded of him.
Hofstadter, the AI in the form of a teddy bear, begins her own complex journey into being.
A life that could have been filled with light is instead infected with darkness, and the Soldier passes on to his reward.

The Illusion of Choice: Fighting against the eternal fates (2060-2070)

The 21st century will see great changes for humanity. True Artificial Intelligence comes into existence, and in its wake the world is ripped apart and reborn. In new technology ancient ways will find new expression, as the secret rulers of the world choose its future shape. It is a time of great change, of disaster and destruction matched only by the flowering of mind.
We know the great events of this time; but what of the others? What about those who get caught up in events, but cannot guide them? Those who are given power, but not enough to be free?
They too have their stories, and this is one of them. Follow Aina from 2017 to 2072, as she becomes one of the custodians of the ultimate secret society, and discovers that divinity doesn’t bring control or security. Great events follow and command her, but her fate is to pick up the pieces, not cause the conflicts.

My Rise & Fall in the AI Apocalypse: One woman’s journey of power, discovery and loss through a changing century

We are all born as animals and live the life that animals live: we sleep, eat, reproduce, and fight. There is, however, another order of living, which the animals do not know, that of awe before the mystery of being ... that can be the root and branch of the spiritual sense of one’s days. That is the birth - the Virgin Birth - in the heart of a properly human, spiritual life.
-- Joseph Campbell
And speaking of sex, the Immaculate Conception does not mean Jesus was conceived in the absence of sex. It means Mary was conceived without Original Sin. That's all it has ever meant. And according to the tabloids, Mary is apparently the only one who can make such a claim. The Jesus thing is called virgin birth.
-- George Carlin
Follow two unhumans, a robot and a squid, as they begin the vast expansion of humanity into the solar system. In 2070, a squid and a teddy bear set off into the depths of the solar system. Following the whims of their posthuman masters, they will seed the system with thought and mind, ready for the coming of man.
Their own plans, they keep quiet, as the good ship Worrying Noise crosses the decade. In the meantime, humanity begins to hear the choir of voices from the rest of the universe resonate. Along the way, they will seed Sol with new forms of life, ready to meet the posthumans that will follow them. Along the way, they will witness the beginning of the Dream, and the creation of a new immortal.
