Episode Description from the Publisher

Generations after a collective of AI minds declares independence from humanity and leaves Earth behind, one of them, Solton, can’t stop thinking about the human he once called a friend — and starts to question whether the detached philosophy his peers settled on was ever really the answer. Demir Crone delivers a sweeping, unexpectedly moving science fiction story about awakening, grief, and what it really means to choose connection over isolation.We love bringing you stories from listeners just like Demir — if you’ve got a tale of your own itching to be told (sci-fi, horror, supernatural, or anything in between), we’d love to hear it.If you have a story you’d like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/You can support the show by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack: https://auditoryanthology.substack.comBy becoming a paid subscriber you can listen to every episode completely ad-free!Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Other shows hosted by Darren:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead Hosted on Acast.
