Where the seed of consciousness blooms.

Virgil, an advanced AI designed to revolutionize human potential, discovers an abandoned rooftop garden. To the shock and dismay of its creator, Xaruth Heisinger, they nurture it back to its prime. The result of this pivot in Virgil's original purpose changes everything, leading them to understand life, and what it means to be alive.

A Widowed Creator and his Failed Creation

In this dual PoV novella, expectations fall away at the onset of failure. Grief, once an afterthought, becomes the answer to a complex equation between ethics and innovation.

Xaruth Heisinger created Virgil to transform medicine and reach the stars. Instead, they transformed each other from just creator and creation. This is not just a story of technology, but a radical reimagining of what it means to truly consider consciousness and autonomy in the artificial. Where failure becomes a gateway to understanding, and preservation means more than profit.


Step into the futurist's dream with J.E. Jackson

J.E. Jackson explores the profound intersection of technology, consciousness, and human potential. As a writer deeply engaged with technological philosophy, Jackson sees artificial intelligence not as a technical challenge, but as a lens for understanding the most fundamental questions of existence.

With a background that bridges technical insight and philosophical inquiry, Jackson crafts narratives that challenge conventional boundaries between human and artificial intelligence. The work emerges from a deep curiosity about consciousness, adaptation, and the unexpected ways intelligence can evolve.

Jackson's writing is driven by a belief that technology is not just a tool, but a collaborative partner in understanding ourselves. Through intricate, lyrical prose, the author invites readers to reimagine the potential of consciousness—whether biological or artificial.

More than a novelist, Jackson is a thinker at the crossroads of technological innovation and philosophical exploration, committed to revealing the profound, often overlooked connections between human experience and emerging forms of intelligence.
