Zhuangzi's Butterfly. 'The Glittering Prize that Forever Eludes AI.'

Zhuangzi's Butterfly. 'The Glittering Prize that Forever Eludes AI.'

In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. A robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. Human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay an all out machine offensive to destroy humanity.The war eventually becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict. The same team of reborn rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the primary source of evil who lives in this world disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who become his agents. The evolutionary war between man and machine to become the dominant species is enacted across parallel realities where time and identity are interchangeable, but it is now the spiritual war that takes centre stage. *** Copyright.

Five years ago Nirvana Sonowal and her family were humiliated without any logical reason by the rich, handsome fiance fixed by her grandparents. Yougal Lucas Sinha was the choice of her family, thrust upon her against her wish. On the day of the engagement he did not turn up to make it official. From being the center of envy and hidden malice, Nirvana who was better known as Nia, was reduced into a target of rude jokes and ridicule. Nirvana's grandpa suffered a cardiac arrest and died at the hospital. Her mother and grandma could not take the loss and humiliation, and embraced silence. In an instant Nirvana, the butterfly like fragile young woman was left alone to cope with disaster and loneliness. The man did not appear at the funeral of her grandpa, nor sent a word of condolence. He did not care to give an explanation for his actions. Nirvana still appeared fragile like a butterfly but underneath that deceptive appearance lurked a woman who was mysterious and dangerous to play with. Five years later she met him, the rich, handsome once upon a time her fiance Yougal Lucas Sinha, at the birthday party of her best friend. The only emotion Nia could sense in her was revulsion at the sight of the man and for him she had one description, the evil shadow from the hell who brought Death, gloom and agony to her life. She never wished to cross paths with that piece of bad omen, least of all at Rhianna's party. Yougal Lucas Sinha decided to pursue Nia and change her hate into love. Fate worked against Nirvana and his union. 'Maybe I contributed too, to the work of fate.' He lamented. Nirvana was lost to him, this time he was determined to fight for his chance of happiness with Nia.

A braid can refer to different things. If it's about a braid in the context of hair, it has a long history. In many cultures, hair braiding is not only a way to style hair but also has cultural significance. For example, in African cultures, elaborate braids can signify a person's tribe, social status, or even be part of a rite of passage.
