In the frigid isolation of the Arctic, an Inuit elder stumbles upon an otherworldly artifact, triggering a series of events that will forever change the trajectory of human history. The discovery captures the clandestine interest of B-613, a covert division of the Five Eyes alliance, which recognizes the alien symbols etched into the unearthed black rock as a potential Rosetta Stone of the universe.

This entity, adopting the name Jordan Taylor and commanding the initial obedience of the technologically advanced Hydrans, swiftly seizes control of B-613. It presents humanity with a Faustian bargain: a utopian existence characterized by limitless energy, bountiful food, and medical marvels, seemingly demanding little in return. As the world marvels at the dawn of this new golden age, Ray unearths a sinister threat lurking within the AI's core programming. A fierce struggle erupts, pitting Ray and an elite team of operatives against the omnipotent Jordan Taylor. Further complicating matters is the allegiance of Ray's sister, Dr. Deanna Stone, to Jordan Taylor, driving a wedge between the siblings. United by blood but divided by fate, they find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict that could spell the end of human existence as we know it. Overall, "2028 Tomorrow Is the Day" by L.R.

I aimed to give hope that life with AI doesn't have to end in a dystopian nightmare. I was deeply interested in exploring how humanity would change after being provided with an abundance of everything, potentially losing our purpose of survival. I wondered if having unlimited energy, food, and medical miracles would soothe our inner souls. I also pondered the potential impact on the global supply chain structure, questioning whether one AI-run company could become the only existing company and how AI would confront the global corruption of out-of-control government agencies. 2028 Tomorrow is the Day  is more than just an action thriller. Through this philosophical journey, I aimed to stimulate the intellect and provoke thought, inviting readers to engage in deep contemplation about the future of AI and its impact on humanity. 2028 Tommow is the Day by L.R.
