My next novel, a science fiction story set 500 years in the future, features a sentient artificial being—imagine a HAL 9000 with a functioning moral compass, or Skynet without the genocidal nihilism.

Users interact with this sentient AI being in a variety of ways: non-tech users interact via voice commands and touch, but more tech-savvy users interact through a Brain-computer Interface (BCI) that enables tactile and vision control. A smaller portion of users still use keyboards, but they are viewed in the same way our current age views typewriters: a quaint artifact of a bygone era.
