What would happen if Artificial Intelligence (AI) was used to finally break the communication barrier between humans and animals? What if AI taught animals to defend the planet that humans are busy destroying? Extinction Event begins with a hapless middle-aged person who returns to school to study music. As he learns recording techniques, he discovers that messages are being sent through songs and other communications, but he doesn’t know who is sending them or what their purpose might be. As the story progresses, he eventually discovers that a previous lover (Artius / Sylvie Hunter) is the woman behind GAIA, one of the world’s first AI platforms, used by Holdfast Media Inc. and a clandestine group called the Plutonian Council to spread fake news and stir societal fragmentation. The lead protagonist, known only as LP, and his friends soon find themselves in a race against time to stop GAIA from using animals to take over the planet. After being the main entree for so long, creatures of the Earth are ready to turn the tables on humanity. It doesn’t end well. Or does it? Questions about real and fake news, mythological references, the rights of animals, and how to deal with the polycrisis are all critical to the development of this story. Extinction Event ends with an opportunity to develop a prequel as well as a sequel to the story.
