David Simpson - Post-Human Trilogy

“But what if?” James repeated.

The A.I. nodded. “What if? A phrase that has given birth to more accomplishments than any other; yet it is also the great stumbling block of humanity. What if? Never has a phrase stopped more dreams in their infancy.”

“She said other civilizations had created gods—that sounds very much like what Trans-Human could become.”

“James,” the A.I. began, his patience as strong as ever, “I cannot say for sure what will happen in the future—it has not been written. I can only remind you of something you already know: the quest for more consciousness is the ultimate path for humanity. More intelligence, more creativity, more perception leads to greater truth. Limiting our knowledge has only ever led to stagnation and misery.”

James suddenly remembered something. “The man who never alters his opinion becomes like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.”

The A.I. smiled. “William Blake knew what he was talking about. Remember James: Trans-Human will be us, and we will be Trans-Human. Exponentially increasing our intelligence and understanding will increase our compassion as well. It is nothing to fear.”

James nodded. “You’re right. You’re right. Okay. Let’s do it. Let’s start it up.”

The A.I. nodded in return. “Initiating Trans-Human.”

James watched in awe as the matrix rocket burst into a brilliant white light that took up the entire screen. The A.I stood at his side. “It is, quite literally, deus ex machina.”

James concurred, his eyes remaining fixed on the birth of an intelligent universe.

“ Wake up, ” he whispered.

So there, you have it! With the prequel written, the trilogy is complete…or is it? If you read between the lines, you may have noticed a few hints as to where the series may go in the future, so there may be some more fun to come in the Post-Human world yet!

I just want to thank everyone who has downloaded a copy of this series, and especially in 2012. Since January, the series has had over 125,000 downloads on Amazon.com alone! Truly astounding!

How to help the series:

Are you loving this series? Want to tell all your friends? Scream it from the rooftops? I’ve got something even better! Writing an Amazon review is the best way to support the series. This is how the series is discovered, so if you want to help other readers discover the “Human Series” phenomenon, take a couple of minutes and write a review! Nothing you could do could help more (unless your name is Christopher Nolan and you want to make a Post-Human movie…in which case, yes—yes, that would be more helpful!)

I’d also love to connect with you on the Post-Human Facebook page and that’s where I do all of my interacting with readers, so if you want to chat, come chat! I can’t wait to meet you!
