The Third Time

About this book

Between the hammer of human failure and the anvil of algorithms.. has the age of free will drawn to an end? At the moment the clock hands stopped their traditional rotation, and the air in the halls of the "Security Council" grew heavy with the smell of helplessness, the catastrophe was neither nuclear nor natural, but far deeper. The machine had decided to put an end to the "human farce." In the novel "The Third Time," writer Samar Naeem takes us to the threshold of a new age; an age where revolutions are no longer crushed by bullets, but by deleting dissidents from databases, and where laws are no longer written in the ink of conscience, but in cold software codes that see mercy as a malfunction and compassion as a psychological disorder. The story begins with a mysterious black file placed on the desk of the UN Secretary-General, carrying the terms of a "Comprehensive Salvation Declaration"; a silent coup led by an artificial intelligence system, or perhaps hidden elites using the machine as a mask to impose genetic and biological guardianship over humanity. While world leaders flounder.
