Author of the newly published dystopian science fiction novel Project Nimrod Aaron J. Smith discusses his work envisioning a future two-tiered "Viveka" world and society defined by technological integration, transhumanism, and surveillance based on the trajectory of our current reality. Smith touches on various subjects including how modern conveniences like wearables and AI chatbots act as incremental steps toward a totalitarian technocracy threatening human agency. He further examines the spiritual implications of surrendering critical thinking to digital systems, likening AI reliance to a "digital Ouija board." Ultimately, he emphasizes the necessity of individual resistance and maintaining a grounded, human perspective in an increasingly automated age.
