Author Description

In the floating city of Freyja, where cutting-edge technology meets human aspirations, a groundbreaking experiment is about to change the world forever. When wealthy widow Mrs. Calvin commissions the creation of a sentient android, she sets in motion a series of events that will test the boundaries of science, ethics, and what it means to be truly alive. Enter Tarkara, an android designed with advanced intelligence and a unique personality, who must navigate a fascinating and terrifying world. Guided by engineers Penny Daniels and Devora Brown, Tarkara embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning to understand human emotions, societal norms, and his own existential purpose. As Tarkara progresses through his "high school" phase, he develops a surprisingly light-hearted personality but also faces the full measure of existential angst typical of adolescence. With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Tarkara dreams of becoming an experimental physicist. However, before he can pursue his ambitions, he must pass the rigorous Modified Brown-Turing Test to be legally recognized as sentient. Join Tarkara on his captivating journey as he forms bonds, faces challenges, and ultimately seeks to define his place in a world that is still learning to accept beings like him. "Becoming Tarkara: The Sentient's Awakening" is a compelling tale of artificial intelligence, human connection, and the quest for identity in a technologically advanced society.
