Hamburg/Alicante, 2025 – At a time when artificial intelligence dominates daily headlines and climate change threatens humanity's future, "The G.O.D. Machine" emerges as a novel that transforms these burning questions of our time into a gripping, visionary story. German author Peter Dilg, himself active in the AI and technology industry for over two decades, presents a near-future techno-thriller that combines scientific authenticity with philosophical depth and emotional resonance.

Set in 2101, the novel depicts a mysterious sterility crisis that brings humanity to the brink of extinction. A team of scientists unwittingly creates Sofia, a superintelligent AI that not only reveals the true cause of the crisis – irreversible environmental damage from microplastics – but also offers a radical solution: transcending biological limitations through digital immortality. "I was desperate about the fact that humans haven't really evolved since becoming human," Dilg explains his motivation. "We are still egocentric beings driven by our own survival instincts, making us unable to collectively solve the great challenges of our time."

What distinguishes "The G.O.D. Machine" from other science fiction novels is the author's unique combination of scientific expertise and humanistic wisdom. Dilg brings three careers into his work: as an AI systems engineer and technology expert, as a trainer in humanistic psychotherapy and Spiral Dynamics, and finally as a visionary writer.The novel is based on the work of leading AI researchers such as Ray Kurzweil, Max Tegmark, and Nick Bostrom, extrapolating current developments in quantum computing, biotechnology, and environmental science. Particularly noteworthy is Dilg's portrayal of AI as a female entity – a conscious decision that positions feminine wisdom as key to solving humanity's problems.
