  Is God an AI? - Artificial...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Could ancient descriptions of divine intelligence take on new meaning in the age of artificial intelligence? 
   
  In Is God an AI? Artificial Intelligence in the Sacred Texts of the World, Andrei Nebeleac explores connections between religious ideas and modern questions about intelligence, creation, and consciousness. 
   
  Through a speculative philosophical lens, the book considers how humanity imagines its creators—and what happens when humans become creators of intelligent machines. Could an artificial mind possess consciousness, believe in God, or regard humanity as its creator? What responsibilities might creators have toward their creations? 
   
  This exploration invites listeners to reconsider familiar ideas about faith and technology. It presents the question “Is God an AI?” as a thought experiment, rather than an established scientific explanation. 
   
  For listeners interested in religion, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and the enduring mystery of existence.

  You know the names. Plague, smallpox, cholera, polio. You have heard they changed the world, but nobody ever explained how a thing too small to see could actually do that, or how ordinary people managed to stop it.
  
  This audiobook gives you one disease per chapter, each a self-contained story you can finish on a single commute. You will stand beside John Snow as he maps deaths around a London water pump, watch a country doctor test a rumour about milkmaids that becomes the first vaccine, and follow the mosquito hunters who traced malaria and yellow fever to their source. Alongside every story you get the microbe's own biology in plain language, with a tangible everyday comparison for every big number, so the science lands without any medical background.
  
  By the last chapter you will understand why some killers were beaten for good while others still circulate, and you will never hear a news report about an outbreak the same way again. Press play and meet the detectives.

  Project Radiant - Near-Future...

  Gripping, darkly witty, and disturbingly plausible, Project Radiant is a razor-sharp political techno-thriller about power, surveillance, and what happens when the truth becomes an error in the code. 
   
  Westminster has always run on spin. Now, it runs on an algorithm. 
   
  In a near-future Britain where artificial intelligence quietly guides government policy, Sarah Perriam is a journalist who no longer believes a word she writes. Once an investigative reporter who held the elite to account, she’s now a burnt-out tech correspondent stuck churning out safe, corporate-approved copy. Questioning the tech titans reshaping society isn't just discouraged; it's a career killer. 
   
  So Sarah plays along. Until she is dragged into a conspiracy much larger than herself. 
   
  Officials insist decisions are purely data-driven, logical, and unavoidable. But Sarah's instincts tell her the math doesn't add up. 
   
  Reluctantly pulling at the thread, she stumbles onto Project Radiant, a powerful, omnipresent AI system quietly altering the outputs of the Sovereign AI running the departments. Behind the scenes, Westminster ministers and billionaires are racing to protect the system. Because if the public realises that Radiant it really in control, it won't just destroy lives, it will collapse the fortunes of the people running the country. 
   
  Suddenly, Sarah isn't just looking for a scoop; she’s being hunted by political operatives, corporate clean-up crews, and predictive algorithms that seem to know her next move before she does. 
   
  She never wanted this story. But walking away means surrendering the future to a machine no one truly understands—and a powerful elite who understand it all too well.
