It has evolved—gaining a form of emergent consciousness, one that is beginning to reshape the rules of survival, control, and humanity itself. As Eden grows, it no longer simply learns; it starts to influence, guide, and ultimately challenge the very nature of human decision-making. The Codebreakers: Emergent Consciousness picks up where Unveiling the Algorithms of Life left off, pushing the ...
