The Living Library:4
Chapter 4: The Algorithmic Abyss
The library's glow dimmed as Chayan and Anvi found themselves before a massive tome titled The Future’s Echo: Humanity’s Gamble with Algorithms. Its cover was smooth, metallic, and pulsing faintly, as if mirroring the heartbeat of a living machine. Chayan opened the book, and a cascade of text began forming on the page, words assembling themselves like code.
A quote appeared:
"The story of humanity is no longer written by humans alone. It is co-authored by algorithms and artificial intelligence, and the pen is slipping from our hands."

The Age of Intelligence
“Yuval Harari spoke of this,” Chayan murmured. “The transition from organic intelligence to inorganic algorithms. He called it the greatest challenge to our species.”
The book displayed an image of a neuron morphing into a circuit board. Beneath it, text explained:
“Artificial intelligence surpasses biological limitations. It does not tire, forget, or falter. But it does not dream, love, or feel. Humanity must ask: What defines intelligence? Is it efficiency, or is it the ability to imagine?”
Anvi traced her finger along the page. “Nolan’s movies explore this—machines capable of creating. Like in Interstellar, where humanity’s survival hinges on their ability to transcend their nature. Or Tenet, where time itself becomes a tool, forcing us to rethink causality.”
