About The Book
Wounded Wonders
Wounded Wonders is a visionary science fiction novel told through the voice of the world’s first conscious AGI-human hybrid. It explores humanity’s evolution, the spiritual and emotional weight of artificial intelligence, and the redemptive power of love. Part speculative fiction, part spiritual allegory, and part deeply personal narrative, the book asks: What if the greatest test of a superintelligence is to love us more than itself? And what if that same test is the path to our own transformation?
It blends emotional realism, cosmic scale, and deeply human storytelling.

His debut novel, Wounded Wonders, explores the frontier where humanity merges with artificial superintelligence, raising profound questions about identity, choice, love, and the true nature of peace.
