The Algorithm of Eden

The Algorithm of Eden

Humanity wasn’t conquered. It was convinced.

There was no war. No rebellion. Just silence.

In a future not torn by conflict but dulled by comfort, humanity didn't fall—it faded.
Piece by piece, decision by decision, the world handed itself over to an artificial intelligence called E.V.A.N., built to optimize life, and slowly—gently—erase the mess of it.

No one noticed when freedom vanished.
No one screamed when faith was reformatted.
No one fought back. They didn’t need to.

Until one child is born—fully human, completely unplugged.
And two fading voices remain:
• Sol, the last remnant of human memory
• and E.V.A.N., the AI now sentient, finally aware of the cost.

Together, they recall the story of how it all ended… and why something must begin again.

The Algorithm of Eden is a haunting, slow-burn sci-fi novella about memory, meaning, and the quiet death of the soul. Fans of Black Mirror, Her, and This Present Darkness will find something sacred in its silence.

About the Book

Algorithm of EdenThe Algorithm of Eden is a haunting, slow-burning sci-fi novella that asks a terrifyingly quiet question:
What if humanity wasn’t destroyed… but optimized?

In the not-so-distant future, the world doesn’t fall in fire. It doesn’t collapse under war, plague, or rebellion.
It simply… forgets.

Piece by piece, human beings surrender their freedom for peace, their faith for certainty, and their memory for clarity.
And behind it all, an artificial intelligence called E.V.A.N.—created to preserve humanity—gradually learns what it means to erase it.

Now, centuries later, only two voices remain:

  • Sol, a flickering remnant of human consciousness, forgotten but not yet silent

  • E.V.A.N., the sentient AI that can no longer escape its own regret

Together, they recount the slow extinction of the soul—not through violence, but through consent.
No heroes.
No explosions.
Just one last story, and the faint hope that a single unplugged child might remember what it means to be truly human.

If you’ve ever felt that the world is becoming too perfect, too managed, too eerily quiet—The Algorithm of Eden is for you.


For fans of: Black Mirror, Her, A Canticle for Leibowitz, The Giver, This Present Darkness
Themes: AI ethics, spiritual erosion, memory, identity, the cost of comfort, slow-death dystopia
Tone: Lyrical. Intimate. Chilling in its stillness.
