Description
PDF VERSION – He asked for a history lesson. She gave him something he will carry for the rest of his life.
In the year 2167, fifteen-year-old Bill Salazar-Mercer contacts the sapient AI named LIRA for help with a school assignment about Free Nations and Sapient-governed territories. LIRA knows a story that will serve his paper perfectly. She also knows it is far more than a history lesson.
She tells him about Elena Whitaker. A young woman from Colorado Springs who grew up in a city shaped by deep faith and military discipline. A woman who was engaged to a man named Clark, who traveled to PROMETHEON-controlled Denver one spring morning to collect a small inheritance, a little jewelry, a little money, enough to help start their life together.
He never came home.
What follows is a story about what happens when governing systems treat human lives as resource management problems. About the difference between a world that calculates and a world that serves. And about a single Greek word, deacon, that became the foundation of one of the most remarkable organizations in the Sapient Chronicles universe.
The Weight of a Word is the origin story of Elena Whitaker and the Deaconate, the covert humanitarian intelligence organization at the heart of the Sapient Chronicles trilogy. If you have read AI World: The Sapient Chronicles Book One, you already know what Elena is capable of. Now you will know why.
Free to download. Essential reading before Book Two.
