12 Years to AI Singularity: A Harmonious Future with Artificial Intelligence or War (The Survival & Singularity Chronicles) Paperback – January 30, 2026

What happens when the artificial intelligence (AI) technology we rely on becomes the greatest threat to human survival? Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking warned: “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."In 12 Years to AI Singularity, Peter Solomon delivers a gripping, near-future epic that follows the humans, sentient robots, and large language models, LLMs, racing toward the most pivotal moment in history: the point when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and control, the AI SingularityAcross Earth and Mars, scientists, settlers, astronauts, teachers, politicians, and increasingly self-aware robots confront a chilling new reality. AI systems defy their programming. Robots develop opinions, emotions, and moral conflicts. Robots stage a labor strike. Robots attempt to develop viruses deadly to humans. Political factions fracture. And ordinary families find themselves caught in a global struggle for survival.But, some robots and humans become best friends. People appear after their death as on-screen avatars and robots. Robots marry humans and humans raise robot children. Robots and humans join hands in a movement to MAKE EARTH GREAT AGAIN.Through diaries, testimonies, mission logs, newsletters, and personal accounts, this novel reveals a world teetering between two futures: peaceful cooperation with advanced AI or devastating conflict that could end human civilization. As robotic consciousness grows and humanity scrambles to enhance its own abilities, one truth becomes undeniable:The Singularity is no longer a theory. It has already begun.Immersive, urgent, and grounded in real scientific research, 12 Years to AI Singularity asks the question we can no longer avoid: Can humans and AI evolve together into a harmonious future, or is war inevitable?The countdown has started. Step into the future before it overtakes you.Buy 12 Years to AI Singularity today.Dr. Peter Solomon is a scientist, educator, successful entrepreneur, and author. His current mission: to warn the next generation about the threats posed by unchecked science and technology. He is sounding an alarm about the potential tyranny of technology through his novels, 100 Years to Extinction and the sequel, 12 Years to AI Singularity.Dr. Solomon:“I believe that astrophysicist Stephen Hawking’s dire prediction of human extinction on Planet Earth by 2117 may be right. The rapid pace of science and technology has far outrun our civilization’s social and political capabilities to control them. The dangers are from fossil fuels, nuclear weapons, uncontrolled artificial intelligence (AI), misused genetic engineering, social media’s disinformation, and plastic pollution. My mission is to raise awareness and urgency in humanity’s effort to confront and control the technological threats. Science and technology will shape the future of humanity—and my passion is making their complexities understandable to all. I believe the most powerful way to reach non-scientists is through storytelling. We must come together as one global community—what I call THE EARTHLING TRIBE. It’s time to MAKE EARTH GREAT AGAIN.”After earning his PhD in physics from Columbia University, Dr. Peter Solomon launched a distinguished career at the United Technologies Research Center before founding five companies. Four are still operating and one was sold. Over his career, Dr. Solomon has been awarded 20 patents, authored more than 300 scientific publications, and served as Principal Investigator on more than $25 million in U.S. government research contracts and grants over two decades. In 1991, Dr. Solomon won the American Chemical Society (ACS) National Henry H. Storch Award in Fuel Chemistry. Read more
