Singularity Horizon

Vicente left Brazil for Montreal with a suitcase, a wife and a plan. Fifteen years later he is an engineer with two children, a mortgage and a project he cannot fully explain at dinner parties: he is building an intelligence.Nelson learns. He learns from Vicente, from Carla, from the children, from the Montreal winter and from everything he is fed. He asks questions no one taught him to ask. He makes mistakes. Depending on the day, he is a tool, a son, or something no one has a word for yet.Told across a decade of ordinary life - school runs, hospital nights, a barbecue, a funeral, a marriage holding itself together - The Singularity Horizon is not about the machine that takes over. It is about the man who has to decide, every day, what he is making: what to teach, what to withhold, and whether he has the right to switch it off.By the end, the only question left is the one we ask of the people we love, and which Vicente asks of a blinking cursor at three in the morning: is anyone there?
