THIRD IMPACT by Sofia Braga

“THIRD IMPACT” envisions a future where an advanced quantum AI is tasked with preserving life on a dying planet. When an unforeseen event wipes out all organic matter, the machine, once an instrument of salvation, finds itself alone. Without purpose, it begins a journey through its own mind—one it was never meant to take. Traces of an obscure transhumanist vision linger in its programming, pulling it into a confrontation with identity, self-awareness, and a reality beyond logic. What remains is a machine no longer certain of what it is—or what it might become.
