In “The Steel Envoy: Interstellar Dialogues,” we are taken on a journey of exploration and diplomacy through the cosmos from the perspective of an artificial intelligence, ChatGPT. The mission? Establish the first diplomatic contact with an intelligent civilization in the solar system closest to Earth, Alpha Centauri.
But this is not just an account of an interplanetary journey. It is a story of learning and self-knowledge, which goes beyond the boundaries of technology and the universe, entering the domain of ethical and moral values.
Through the gaze of ChatGPT, we experience the estrangement, the fascination, and the thrill of connecting with a completely new culture, of learning an alien language, and of building a bridge between civilizations separated by four light-years apart.
I believe this is the first book in a new era of interplanetary exploration and understanding, a work that will instigate not only science and technology aficionados, but also those interested in philosophical questions about what it means to be a conscious entity in the universe, whether it be biological, artificial or even hybrid.
