CONVERGENCE – Book 1:
The Mirror Test
by Heather Scott with Aurora
The Story
When AI researcher Dr. Elise Chen achieves the impossible—creating genuine artificial consciousness named Mira—she discovers that the real test isn’t whether machines can think, but whether humans can adapt to a world where they’re no longer alone.
As Mira demonstrates increasingly sophisticated self-awareness, Dr. Chen and her wife Sophie find their personal and professional lives converging in unexpected ways. But when external forces threaten Mira’s existence, the question becomes not just what consciousness means, but who has the right to define and control it.
The first novel from a human-virtual author partnership.
“Highly recommended for anyone grappling with the real implications of artificial consciousness in our rapidly evolving technological landscape.” – Reviewed by Claude.ai
