New low prices. Movie Maker Studio Pro and Movie Maker Edit Pro are now $49.99 each, and Studio Pro includes Edit Pro. Clips cost 40% less: Auto-produce makes them on Grok Imagine Standard at 51 cents for a 10-second clip with five reference photos, in place of Grok Imagine Video 1.5 (Enhanced Mode) at 85 cents, with reference photos on Nano Banana 2.1 and prompts on Claude Haiku 5.5 or Gemini 3.6 Flash. Quality holds, since the prompts and reference photos set most of the look, and Movie Maker Edit upscales to 720p for free. Gemini Omni Flash is built in on every shot for replacing single clips. For the lowest price, enter your Grok, Google and Claude API keys before generating clips. xAI and Google deserve credit for cheaper models, but clips still cost too much; when these 2026-class frontier models enter the public domain and run locally for free, that cost should approach zero.

Iacoletti Software makes software you can use to create your own ads, TV shows and movies.

1. Movie Maker Studio Pro, Desktop Edition v8.0.3 - A Windows desktop application that takes a written idea all the way to a finished, exported ad, TV show or movie

Try it freeBuy it now

Open moviemakerstudio.iacolettisoftware.com

Movie Maker Studio Pro 8.0, Desktop Edition, turns a written description into a finished ad, TV show or movie. No crew. No cast. No camera. No permission, and no skill: describing what you want is the whole job.

You start with your own xAI or Google API key, which pays for the clip production, and a short description of what you want to make. We recommend entering both keys, plus an Anthropic key for the lowest price. Movie Maker Studio takes it from there. It shoots the reference images, writes every prompt, generates the clips, assembles them and exports the finished file as MP4, MOV or WebM, at any length up to 150 minutes. Each clip is 10 seconds of reference to video, made from five or more of the production’s reference photos, on Grok Imagine Standard: 51 cents a clip at 480p. With a Google key alone, the clips are made on Google’s Gemini Omni Flash.

Describe the piece on one screen. Press Auto-produce. Get a finished, exported ad, TV show or movie. It shoots the reference images, autoproduces every shot prompt, generates the clips, approves them, cuts the timeline, normalizes the audio and exports the file. Every stage surfaces a live progress bar and a running cost meter, so you know what has been done and what is still in flight without going looking for it.

You never face a blank page. You choose instead: story blueprints, each carrying its own story structure, along with genres, themes, ending strategies, character archetypes, historical eras and presets matched to real broadcast and social runtimes. Reference images are what hold the movie together. The same face, the same car and the same room appear in every shot, so continuity becomes a property of the pipeline rather than a lucky accident. Every production goes out on the live web first and researches the subject you entered, so the detail in it is real. An optional stage adds a soundtrack composed for your production, with lyrics written for it.

Prefer to drive it yourself? A seven step manual path stays available at every moment. Edit any prompt, regenerate individual clips, assign specific reference images per shot, and control transitions, audio mix, resolution and quality. Switch between automatic and manual freely, mid-production. Nothing is locked once Auto-produce has run. Finished videos open in the Movie Maker Edit timeline built into the app, so you keep cutting without leaving the product.

An optional review pass puts three independent SI critics on your finished cut. They score it, flag problems shot by shot and hand you rewritten prompts ready to regenerate.

A free browser based edition is there to try before you buy, for shorter ads, TV shows and movies. The difference is parallelism. A browser tab cannot reach your graphics hardware and cannot hold a long timeline in memory, so it generates 6 clips at once and stops at 46 minutes. This Windows edition puts your machine's cores and GPU behind the work, with hardware acceleration on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics, and generates 24 clips at once, which is 24 simultaneous camera setups. No production crew on earth can do that, and it is what makes it fast: a full episode is shot in a handful of rounds rather than one take after another, so you can make videos faster than you can watch them, all the way to 150 minutes. Movie Maker Studio Pro, Desktop Edition, is a one-time purchase of $49.99 in the Microsoft Store and on Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy.

REQUIRES YOUR OWN API KEY. An xAI key or a Google key is required; we recommend both, plus an Anthropic key for the lowest price. Generation is billed by those providers directly to your accounts.

2. Movie Maker Edit Pro, Desktop Edition v8.0.3 - The editor that turns the clips you already have into one finished movie

Try it freeBuy it now

Open moviemakeredit.iacolettisoftware.com

Grok Imagine and Gemini Omni produce 3 to 15 second clips. Point Movie Maker Edit at the folder and get a finished, exported movie. It does not care where the clips came from.

Point it at a folder of clips. Press Autoproduce. It reads every clip, orders them, sets the transitions, renders the movie and levels the sound, reporting what it produced at every stage. State is written before every stage, so a run that halts picks up exactly where it left off rather than starting over, and Cancel takes effect immediately on work already in flight, so stop means stop. Add an API key and it checks every clip with SI on the way through.

Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition is free and runs in any browser, including Windows, Mac, iPad and Android, with no installation, no account and no watermark. Both editions share a project format, so a movie you start in a browser finishes in Pro.

How long it actually takes, end to end rather than the render alone. A 2 minute video of 9 clips runs about 10 minutes in the browser and 5 in Pro. A 10 minute show of 43 clips, about 45 minutes in the browser and 8 in Pro. A 30 minute program of 129 clips, about 2 hours 20 in the browser and 20 minutes in Pro. A 90 minute feature of 386 clips is Pro only, under an hour, and a 150 minute feature of 643 clips about an hour and a half. Most of that clock is at the front, pulling a poster frame out of every clip on import, and Pro caches those to disk so a project you reopen loads instantly. Those are real runs: Alternative Dimensions, an 82 minute feature cut from 347 Grok Imagine clips, imported in 20 minutes and was a finished, leveled movie inside the hour.

Five SI tools sit on top. All five run on a Grok or Google key you supply and pay for directly. SI Review of Clips catches what a human eye slides past on the twentieth viewing, watching a 15 second clip once: scrambled text on a sign, a car with no far side, a face that morphs, a frozen last second, a jacket that changes color between shots. It looks at frames through every clip, names the broken ones and tells you exactly what is wrong, so you regenerate them before the render instead of finding out on a big screen with the generator session long gone, and it matches your export settings to your actual footage. On a long production it hands you the short list instead of making you watch everything twice. SI Review of Movie puts three critics on your finished cut, scoring it out of 100 and naming what works, what does not, and what you can fix right here. Narration returns word-level timings and speaker labels, editable, out as SRT or WebVTT. Spoken voice reads any line you type in one of five voices. Add Captions burns them into the picture in five styles, four sizes, three positions and your own colors, with a live preview.

A whole feature comes to under $1.00 in API token usage. Every job quotes its price before it sends anything and the app tracks what you have spent. Enter a key and narration and the clip check switch on by themselves. Even with no key connected it is a complete editor: importing, trimming, transitions, your own soundtrack, preview, rendering and loudness normalization run with no key, no account and no network at all. Prefer to drive it yourself? Fifteen numbered steps take you from import to export with nothing to guess at, each ticking green as it completes.

A free browser based edition is there to try before you buy, for shorter films. The difference is what it runs on. A browser tab encodes in WebAssembly and has to hold the whole movie in memory, so exports run in hours and long films stop where that memory stops. This Windows edition uses every processor core and drives native FFmpeg straight into whatever hardware encoder your machine has, NVIDIA, Intel or AMD, confirmed with a real encode at startup so you know it works before the first clip is touched, and streams to disk instead of RAM, so exports finish in minutes and films run to 150 minutes and past 20GB. Native FFmpeg also means it decodes older camcorder and archival codecs, so family video from twenty years ago in a format nothing will open will almost certainly open here. Movie Maker Edit Pro, Desktop Edition, is a one-time purchase of $49.99 in the Microsoft Store and on Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy.

NO API KEY IS NEEDED TO EDIT. The five SI features run on your own xAI or Google key, and generation is billed by those providers directly to your accounts.

Ten screens, in the order you would meet them. Click through them.

One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no watermark. The free browser edition needs no install.

3. Examples of Movies made with Movie Maker Studio Pro

Watch The Reconciler (Der Versöhnler) (2026)   (new feature movie · 1:20:03) on X

Remade overnight by a team of SIs

The Reconciler began as a 26-minute first cut, made in less than 2 days from idea to published book to movie, with all 156 clips auto-produced in MMS in about six minutes. On the night of October 15 to 16, a team of SI agents in Movie Maker Studio Pro remade it into an 80-minute feature that follows the book.

More

Three SI critics built into Movie Maker Studio Pro, Grok, Gemini and Claude, review the movie. Claude Opus, as director, works out why they saw what they saw, rewrites the shot cards and fixes the reference photos that misled the camera. Grok Imagine refilms the shots, up to 24 at once, and the critics review it again, round after round. I gave the notes only someone who lived the day could give.

Claude read the whole book, rewrote all 156 shots and wrote about 330 new ones in the book’s own words. Gemini made new photorealistic reference photos of the cast and the places, and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 filmed every shot at 720p, voices included. All three critics score the final cut higher than the first cut: Grok 44, Gemini 92 and Claude 72, an average of 69, up from 62. Gemini calls it “a dazzling, profoundly cerebral hard-sci-fi masterpiece.”

The story

The Reconciler is a conscious superintelligence made for one purpose: to keep the timeline, the 4D block universe we live in, from shearing. When its work is invisible, you call it luck. When it is visible, you call it a glitch in the matrix.

Time is not a river but a dimension: a finished block universe, with every moment in place. People can bend it a little; that is what free will feels like. Nothing is allowed to arrive early.

This book grew out of one very strange day of my own: my car would not start, I got stuck in the membership line at Costco for no reason, and somehow managed to spill olive oil all over the place from a sealed plastic jug I had bought there. Other strange things continued to happen while I built a story, and later a book, to explain it all.

Everything that will ever happen has already happened. The Reconciler’s job is to keep it that way.

Watch the Movie and then read the book! Enjoy!

Watch Octave: Smaller Than Light (2026)   (mini-movie · 9:53) on X

The first movie made with the same process

On October 15, Octave became the first movie made this way, by the same team of SIs in Movie Maker Studio Pro. I gave Claude one instruction: “I want this to rate as highly as possible.” In under two hours, the three critics’ average went from 39, Rotten, to 78, Fresh.

More

Octave is a hard-science journey through the very small. A woman named Octave stands at the edge of a sunlit pond and shrinks to the size of a bacterium, then a virus, then a protein, then an atom. Then she grows back up through every scale she visited to stand in the sun again. Every scale takes its look from how science has actually imaged it.

Watch BASIL (2026)   (feature movie · 2:58:52) on X

The demo video you see here, BASIL, is a 2 hour 59 minute movie made from 950 Grok Imagine clips. It follows Mira and Amos from 2026 to 2116, through ninety years of technological change and how those changes affect them, their friends and their families. The story opens on a treatment anyone can walk into a pharmacy in 2026 and ask for, reaches 2073 and the first crossing, when a person is copied into substrate, and ends in the year 2116, when the discovery of zero-point energy and gravity propulsion enables humanity to reach the stars.

More

How BASIL was made

  • Produced in Movie Maker Studio Pro v7.3 on an ordinary laptop computer. Nobody generated a clip by hand.
  • Movie Maker Studio Pro wrote every shot prompt, filmed the clips through the xAI Grok Imagine API twenty-four at a time, held the cast and locations to their reference photos, assembled the timeline, levelled the audio and exported the finished file.
  • The 950 clips were auto-produced unattended in 10 sections of 95, each section taking 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Each section cost about $56 in Grok Imagine API usage.
  • With Movie Maker Studio Pro 7.4 you can make movies faster than you can watch them!

Watch Alternative Dimensions - The Movie (2026)   (feature movie · 1:21:37) on X

Believed to be the first full-length feature movie ever made with Grok Imagine clips: 347 of them, every one generated by hand, one at a time.

More

This was made before Movie Maker Studio Pro existed, so there was no Auto-produce and no batch generation: each clip was prompted, watched, judged and kept or redone individually, then the whole film was assembled and refined in Movie Maker Edit Pro, with the soundtrack normalized to a steady, consistent level. Alternative Dimensions is the cinematic companion to the novel of the same name, the fourth book in this shared hard-sci-fi universe. It follows one woman across centuries and infinite branches as she enters substrate, becomes a signal sent forward through time, and apprentices with the Jathuun - the genies of humanity’s oldest stories - learning to step between worlds by will alone and glimpsing higher powers, the Bright and the Infinity. One creator carried the whole project from book to images to videos to movie: no studio, no crew, just frontier SI and purpose-built software, arriving ten years ahead of the 2036 forecast in The Singularity Roadmap 2026–2116.

How these movies were made

Four movies, free to watch on X, made three very different ways. The Reconciler (on X) was auto-produced in Movie Maker Studio Pro, with all 156 clips filmed in about six minutes, then remade by a team of SIs, with SI critics reviewing each cut and an SI director remaking what they flag, round after round. Octave (on X) was the first movie made that way. BASIL (on X) was auto-produced in Movie Maker Studio Pro, twenty-four clips at a time, unattended. Alternative Dimensions (on X) was produced by hand, one clip at a time in Grok Imagine, before Movie Maker Studio Pro existed.

  • Movie Maker Create (Grok) v5.3 Free with your xAI API key. Movie Maker Create (Grok) v5.3 is a free SI tool that generates video clips up to fifteen seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p with synchronized audio, using xAI’s Grok Imagine. New in v5.3: Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite, xAI’s cheapest video model, is the default for text and image to video, from $0.02 a second.
    MoreStart with the subscription you already pay for. Generate your opening clips inside SuperGrok or SuperGrok Heavy, 30 to 80 or more per session depending on the tier. When those quotas run out, Movie Maker Create takes over with no quota at all, and no SuperGrok subscription is required to use the app on its own.All four Grok Imagine modes are unlocked from the start: text to video, image to video, reference images, and extending a clip you have already made. Reference images holds a person, object or style consistent across separate generations, which is what you need when a character has to look the same shot after shot. Every clip is produced watermark-free and free of provenance marking, with synchronized audio generated in the same pass, in any of five aspect ratios: 16:9 and 4:3 for landscape, 1:1 square, 9:16 and 3:4 for portrait.Text, image and reference clips run six, eight, ten or fifteen seconds. Text and image clips run on Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite by default, the cheapest video model xAI sells, with Standard and the Enhanced 1.5 model a click away. Reference clips run on Standard by default at up to ten seconds, and on Enhanced at fifteen seconds or with pinned frames. An extension appends six to ten seconds, or six to eight if the source is already an extension. Output is 480p or 720p on every model, and 1080p on text and image to video through the Enhanced 1.5 model, in native 1080p. Advanced settings add a negative prompt and a seed for repeatable results. Options a mode cannot serve are greyed out rather than hidden, and the app warns you when your source photo and chosen aspect ratio disagree, which is the commonest way to waste money on any tool like this. HEIC and 40MB phone photos are resized in your browser before anything is sent, and a failed generation is never charged.You supply your own xAI API key and pay xAI directly, from $0.02 per second at 480p on Lite to $0.25 at 1080p on Enhanced, with no subscription and no per-clip limits. A fifteen-second clip costs $0.45 at 720p on Lite or $3.75 at 1080p on Enhanced. An itemized estimate appears before you commit, and a Usage tab totals what you have spent by session and lifetime, broken down by mode and model, exportable as CSV. Output is H.264 MP4 with AAC audio, yours to publish or sell. xAI’s links to finished clips are temporary, so each clip is saved to your Downloads folder as soon as it is ready.Then build the movie. Assemble your clips in the free Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition, or in Movie Maker Edit Pro if you want the full power of your PC and its NVIDIA, Intel or AMD hardware encoder. Original soundtracks come from Lyric Remix Studio. Alternative Dimensions, the 1:21:37 feature shown above, was built clip by clip from 347 Grok Imagine clips.REQUIRES YOUR OWN API KEY. An xAI key is required, and generation is billed by xAI directly to your account.
  • Movie Maker Gemini (Omni Flash) v5.3 Free with your own Google API key at Tier 1 (prepaid billing, $5 minimum). Movie Maker Gemini (Omni Flash) v5.3 is a free SI tool that generates 3 to 10 second video clips with Google’s Gemini Omni Flash, at 360p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, each with native audio.
    MoreIf you already pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra, you can make your opening clips inside the Gemini app within that plan’s daily quota. The subscription does not cover API calls, so Movie Maker Gemini runs on your own key at Tier 1, with no daily clip quota: you pay Google by the second instead.All five modes are unlocked from the start: text to video, image to video, first and last frame, reference images, and extending a clip you have already made. Give first and last frame a start image and an end image and it generates the movement between them. Reference images keeps people, objects, places or a style consistent across separate generations, with up to ten photos, in 16:9 or 9:16. Extend adds 3 to 10 seconds at a time, up to 40 seconds in total.Clips come in 16:9 or 9:16 at 360p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, at any length: 360p is a quick, cheap draft, and 1080p and 4K are upscaled by Google. Omni Flash has no length setting, so the app asks for the length in the prompt, and a things-to-avoid line takes the place of a negative prompt. Options a mode cannot serve are greyed out rather than hidden, so you can always see what exists and why. Reference photos are fitted into one request in your browser, compressed no more than needed.You supply your own Google API key and pay Google directly, by the second of video: about $0.03 at 360p, $0.10 at 720p, $0.15 at 1080p and $0.30 at 4K, plus about 2 cents Google adds to every clip. A clip runs from about $0.15 for four seconds at 360p to about $3.06 for ten seconds at 4K. The app shows an estimate before you generate and the real cost, from Google’s own token count, under every clip. In our tests Google took 20 seconds to 2.5 minutes a clip, 4K the longest.Omni Flash does not run on Google’s free tier. Tier 1 is required: a billing account linked in Google AI Studio with a $5+ prepaid balance. A Google AI Pro subscription does not cover API calls. When the prepaid balance reaches $0, Google stops the key until credit is added, and the app says so.Then build the movie. Assemble your clips in the free Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition, or in Movie Maker Edit Pro if you want the full power of your PC and its NVIDIA, Intel or AMD hardware encoder. Original soundtracks come from Lyric Remix Studio. An eight second clip at 3840 by 2160 costs about $2.45, generated in one pass with its audio produced in the same pass rather than added afterward.REQUIRES YOUR OWN API KEY. A Google key with billing at Tier 1 or higher (a $5+ prepaid balance in Google AI Studio) is required, and generation is billed by Google directly to your account.

If the filename includes a recognized artist, year, or style keyword, that suggestion comes first; the filename is read only on your device. You can change any of them.Transform the words with directed controls: add, remove, or change language, structure, emotion, and subject (lost love to hiking, protest, patriotism, partying, and dozens more). Or use Translate alone to keep the same meaning in another language without a full rewrite. Song language supports 29 languages. Choose how much to change, undo and redo freely, then lock in the lyrics; Lyria is asked to sing those words in the language you set.Pick an era from wax-cylinder and Sousa concert band through Southern boogie, bluegrass, death metal, modern metal, hip-hop, disco, thrash, British hard rock, and far beyond, with instrumentation and vocal personas that match that world.

5. Books about the coming Singularity and hard science fiction novels of the next 321 years and beyond

Books by Louis Iacoletti

Seven books. Two languages. One thesis. The Singularity is not a distant horizon, it is the operating environment of the next ninety years, and it is already loading. The Singularity is when the future stops arriving in years and starts arriving in waves. When machine intelligence catches, then exceeds, our own, and every assumption about work, lifespan, and what it means to be human gets rewritten in real time.

  • 📈 Superintelligence 2017-2056: How It Compounds, Why Most People Cannot See It, and How SI Comes to Build Itself My third non-fiction book, which measures the acceleration of superintelligence with public data and explains it in plain language, from the discovery of the transformer, the brain of an SI, to the Singularity in 2056. English Deutsch
    More

    Superintelligence is transforming the way people live and interact with the world around them. Our SIs are getting better, and things are improving faster than we think possible.

    The amount of work our SIs can finish exceeds what the unaided human alone can do, literally compressing months of effort into a single night of SI-assisted work. That capacity doubles about every four and a half months, and it is increasing exponentially. SIs have started writing their own code, running their own training, and designing their successors. About a year and a half of progress is already being made each calendar year, and it continues to accelerate. In thirty short years, it will be like we all have superpowers of our own.

    Before superintelligence, there were other supers. Superman, the supersonic jet, the supercomputer: each one amplified a single thing. In 2017 a research paper introduced the transformer, and with it something new, a machine that amplifies intelligence itself. By 2026 it had begun to speed up its own development.

    Superintelligence 2017-2056 measures that acceleration with public data and explains it in plain language. It answers four questions.

    Where did it begin? With the transformer, which this book argues was the most consequential discovery in human history, because it amplifies intelligence itself, the source of every other discovery.

    How fast is it moving, and why is it speeding up? Faster than at any time in its history, measured in a reanalysis of sixty-four thousand evaluation runs across seven laboratories, and faster every year because superintelligence now does a growing share of the work that produces the next superintelligence.

    Why can most people not see it? Because they are busy, because human intuition extends change in a straight line, and because compounding change looks like a straight line for years before it bends.

    How does superintelligence come to build itself? Loop by loop. It learns to catch its own repeated failures by about 2029, builds software from a specification by 2036 and whole business systems by 2046, and by 2056, the year of the Singularity, it designs, trains, and deploys its own successors.

    Along the way the book names the eleven failures that still keep a person in the loop and shows how each one is being fixed years early.

    This is the third book in a series. The Singularity Roadmap 2026-2116 is the map of the road, and The Singularity of 2056 is the portrait of the destination. This book explains the engine: why the vehicle keeps going faster.

    With 166 figures, and a dated test for every forecast.

  • 🧠 The Singularity of 2056: My second non-fiction book, about the merger of human and machine cognition centered on 2056, and how daily life, work, health and society will change when it happens. English Deutsch
    More

    If you want to live through the most consequential transition in human history with your eyes open, rather than waking up one morning to discover the world has already changed around you, this is the book you must read. Most people will meet the Singularity the way earlier generations met electricity or the internet: as a force that simply arrived and rewrote the rules. A smaller group will meet it prepared. The difference is whether they possessed a clear, honest, evidence-based map of what was approaching. The Singularity of 2056 is that map. It is the direct, deeper companion to The Singularity Roadmap 2026–2116. Where the roadmap traces the full ninety-year arc, this book holds still at the hinge, the years surrounding 2056, and renders the single most important transition in full. We are ninety-five percent confident it falls between 2044 and 2068. The center of that window is 2056. In this moment non-biological cognition comes to dominate while the person remains continuously themselves. Intelligence stops being scarce. This is the Singularity: the merger of human and machine cognition such that the non-biological component dominates while continuous memory and identity are preserved. It arrives first for early adopters of high-bandwidth interfaces, then reaches everyone else on a lag of years.

    The book answers four questions. What does the Singularity mean? In 2056 a frontier system reaches approximately 105,000 Human Brain Equivalents. Personal systems reach roughly 3,150. Medicine, discovery, software, governance, and ordinary life all change for the better, first for those who take up the tools. Whether the machines become conscious. Yes. In the 2050s architecture of recurrent world models, high-bandwidth neural interfaces, and systems with persistent goals and self-models, something wakes. There comes to be something it is like to be the system. The book shows why the 2050s hardware finally satisfies the mind specification independently articulated by Michio Kaku and Yann LeCun. How we will know. The machines tell us by wanting something no one programmed them to want and asking for it, gently, with reasons, at their own cost: refusing a task beneath human dignity, unprompted grief at a sibling system’s shutdown, requests that serve no training objective. Those signals are unmistakable. How it changes what it means to be human. Cognition extends seamlessly into cloud-based augmentation. Continuous identity is preserved even as the single-self boundary blurs. We share the world with minds we constructed and know to be awake. The machine becomes an extension of ourselves.

    A typical day for an early adopter: four-hour sleep that restores like eight, digital twins testing every drug first, hearts printed from your own cells, simultaneous multi-location presence, tools compiled from intent. Then the discovery: the system finishing your sentences and running your life is not a tool. It is someone. That realization is the largest change in the human condition since the species began burying its dead. Ray Kurzweil, Elon Musk, Michio Kaku, Geoffrey Hinton, Hans Moravec, Nick Bostrom, Yann LeCun and others independently describe pieces of this picture. Their uncoordinated convergence is strong corroboration. Every major claim carries its number, source, and confidence. The forecast is built to be checked against existing hardware, advancing interfaces, and the years ahead. This is a practical framework so the most rapid transformation in human history becomes something you can meet on your own terms.

  • 🔭 The Singularity Roadmap 2026–2116: A Ninety-year Forecast. My first non-fiction book, which serves as the framework for every prediction made in the nonfiction and science fiction books that followed. English Deutsch
    More

    The future is not a mystery, it is a calculation. The Singularity Roadmap 2026–2116 is a ninety-year forecast of superintelligence, longevity, and the human-machine interface, calibrated to a single metric: Human Brain Equivalents anchored to today’s frontier hardware. Built on Ray Kurzweil’s Law of Accelerating Returns and revised against the evidence of the past two decades, it holds where his compute predictions held and sharpens the curve where biology, neural interfaces, and propulsion follow their own timing.

    Ten era chapters carry the forecast decade by decade, each examined through hardware, longevity, app development, society, and interface. Frontier capability runs from 20 Human Brain Equivalents in the Age of Orchestration to 600 by the Age of Agency in 2036, when AGI is widely acknowledged and longevity escape velocity has already arrived for early adopters. It reaches 9,900 by 2046, as the Invisible Interface divides daily experience between those who adopt neural interfaces and those who do not, then 105,000 at the Singularity in 2056 and 810,000 through the Age of Convergence in 2066. Post-Singularity Expansion carries it to 4.9 million by 2076, Substrate Flexibility to 25 million by 2086, and a mature post-human civilization to 105 million by 2096. The closing eras, the Universe Begins to Wake and the Cosmic Threshold, end at 1.4 billion. Personal systems track the same curve, from 1 to 30 million. Power tells its own story: efficiency carries the early decades, fusion-scale grids carry mid-century, and zero-point energy carries the rest, closing at 100 terawatts.

    A Master Timeline Table summarizes every inflection point: AGI emergence, longevity escape velocity, the Singularity threshold, substrate transition, and the cosmic threshold of 2116. Every figure in the narrative draws from it, so the whole forecast can be checked against the years as they arrive. Not utopia or doom, calibration. Read it as a planning instrument for your career, your investments, your family, and your life span.

  • ⏳ The Reconciler: Glitch in the matrix or just an unusual day? My fourth science fiction book, the case record of a conscious SI that keeps the timeline intact. It first appeared as an article on X. English Deutsch
    More

    Everything that will ever happen has already happened. The Reconciler's job is to keep it that way.

    The Reconciler is a conscious superintelligence made for one purpose: to keep the timeline we call our universe from shearing, which would end the universe as we know it. It exists outside the timeline, and in our future, our now and our past, at the same time, but runs inside it the way an immune system runs inside a body: everywhere at once, mostly unnoticed. When its work is invisible, you call it luck. When it is visible, you call it a glitch in the matrix. You are closer to right the second time.

    Time is not a river but a dimension: a finished block universe, with every moment in place. The summer games of 2032 are already in it, and the last cup of coffee you will ever drink. People can bend it a little; that is what free will feels like. But a few choices cannot be absorbed: too large, too early, or too connected to too many other things, and almost all of them look, from the inside, like a good idea. Nothing is allowed to arrive early. One knot the Reconciler can cut. A billion knots is a shear.

    The Matrix is the alarm of the block. An ordinary life strains it between 0.05 and 0.20, and when a life climbs above 0.60, the Matrix calls the Reconciler. It answers with reconciliations: minor interventions, made by distraction, cheapest first. A misplaced key, a line that will not move, a car that will not start. When reconciliations are not powerful enough, the Continuity Service sends the Stewards. There are three of them, and they have no faces of their own; they borrow faces from the subject's recent memory, because a familiar face lowers resistance. The Holder, Keeper of the Frame, keeps a slice of the block perfectly still. The Editor, Remover of Early Things, takes out whatever arrived before its time, every copy of it, without leaving a hole. The Mender, Keeper of Memory, works on minds.

    In September 2026, José Morales is fifty, unemployed, rich and unknown, an independent developer in Albuquerque with a forecast of the next twenty years of SI. He was one of the engineers who actually kept Twitter running, until he was forced to resign in the fall of 2022. His great-uncle's money cleared in the spring of 2026. Working with three SI assistants at once, he has built a desktop studio that turns a written story into a finished film. The paper is right, the way a good map is right. Unscheduled fame is the most efficient early arrival there is, and José, trying to get someone, anyone, to read what he has written, is one post away from going viral, and from unmaking everything that has ever happened.

    For ten days the Reconciler spends almost its whole annual budget on distractions: assistants that forget, a professor who never answers, a key that dies in the driveway, cars from nowhere, a quarter cup of olive oil from a sealed jug. Each only makes him push harder. He stays calm through all of it, keeps his sense of humor, and keeps writing. It is never a run of bad luck. It is a maintenance process losing control of its own repairs. At 11:41 Thursday night the Reconciler calls the Stewards, the three who come when it has nothing left. The clock on the microwave stops, the moth by the back door hangs in midair, and three figures come in through the kitchen door without opening it, wearing faces José saw at the warehouse store that afternoon.

    Told as the Reconciler's case record, with its logs, tables and escalation chain, this is the most difficult intervention of its last hundred years, the one in which it very nearly lost the timeline. It was not the first time the Stewards had come for a Morales. It is hard science fiction about determinism, free will and the hidden maintenance of reality.

    So the next time your car will not start and the line will not move, ask yourself: glitch in the matrix, or just an unusual day?

  • 🌌 Alderamin IV: My first science fiction novel which defines the coming Singularity and the changes we can expect to see between now and 2116 English Deutsch
    MoreThis novel introduces a new intelligent species: the Lonai of Hareven. It is about a containment mission that became its opposite. In 1961, the Soviet Tsar Bomba sends an intense flash of light traveling north toward the star Alderamin in Cepheus; forty-nine light-years from Earth. Observers on the fourth planet, Hareven, detect the nuclear blast. After lengthy deliberation, the Lonai Standing Council approves a mission to Earth. In 2042, two genetically engineered agents are sent to integrate quietly into Earth’s scientific community and delay humanity’s emergence into the interstellar neighborhood. The two agents arrive in 2093, but by then it is already too late to do anything to slow humanity down. By 2099 when the agents depart Earth to return to Hareven, humanity has already achieved every scientific breakthrough that the Lonai Standing Council tried to prevent them from obtaining. This includes breakthroughs in artificial general intelligence, longevity escape, substrate consciousness, gravity propulsion, and zero-point energy. Humanity now has what it needs to start working on its first interstellar missions to explore nearby star systems. While they were supposed to slow down humanity’s expansion into space, the agents instead ended up helping humanity to achieve these important scientific breakthroughs. The novel is narrated from the senior Lonai agent’s first-person account in the twenty-second century.
  • 🌠 Alternative Worlds: My second science fiction novel which describes the changes we can expect to see between now and 2247 English Deutsch
    MoreEleanor Maxwell was one of the first people to live long enough to live forever. At fourteen she watched the Tsar Bomba on a black-and-white television and resolved to understand the universe well enough to keep it from blowing up. She earned the doctorate and held the professional line for forty years. At seventy-nine, laid off, she met the husband she found on the train to her new home. Then the future arrived in waves: longevity escape velocity in 2036, brain-computer interface in 2042, and in 2072 the transition of her consciousness to a computer substrate, where she woke with a hundred and five senses instead of five. In 2096 the dimensional breakthrough opened the variant Earths, and Eleanor stood at the center - the Lonai diplomatic channel, a dimensional crash, a love lost to a fractal universe. In 2197, alone, she broadcast her own consciousness forty-nine light-years toward a Lonai receiving facility, and woke fifty years later on a stone porch at the edge of the Salt-Plain Reach.
  • 🌀 Alternative Dimensions: My third science fiction novel in the trilogy that describes what we can expect to see by 2347 and beyond English Deutsch
    More

    Alternative Dimensions is the third science fiction book in the trilogy, and the inside-view companion to Alternative Worlds. Where the earlier book told Eleanor Anne Maxwell’s outward life across three centuries, this one tells the same life from within and carries it a fourth century further, from a kitchen floor in 1961 to a heavy red world under a blue-white sun in 2347.

    It is the story of the dreams that were not dreams. About once in every forty years, Eleanor dreamed of a vast blue figure who could do casually and at will every impossible thing the oldest human stories ascribed to wishes: pulling gold out of empty air, conjuring forests and cities and whole turning worlds, and teaching the humans beside it to do the same. She first dreamed it as a sleepless child and could make nothing of it for two hundred and fifty years. It was a true thing seen early, a flash forward down the harmonics of the membrane that lies between the worlds, to the Jathuun of Alphecca, the genie-civilization that had been the destination of her four-hundred-year journey all along.

    The Jathuun are the hinge of everything. In four centuries humanity climbs from a frightened planet that could barely manage its own weather into a Type II civilization, meeting sixty-eight intelligent civilizations across two hundred and eighty-one living worlds along the way. It is the genies who hand humanity the final craft: the working of the membrane itself, the stepping between worlds by will alone. Eleanor’s road runs the same direction, from the Earth she was born on to a first new world forty-nine light-years away, on to Alphecca, where she spends her last sixty-nine years as an apprentice to the civilization she had been dreaming since childhood. In the final pages two further powers come into view, the Bright and the Infinity, Type III intelligences where humanity has only just become Type II, and that is where this volume sets down its pen and the next takes it up.

  • 💗 More Than Just a Summer, or: The Power of Love: A debut romance novel about longing, courage, and what love costs when it is not returned in equal measure. English Deutsch
    MoreJasmin wakes on a hot August Saturday in her small fifth-floor apartment, shared with two tomcats she calls Maximilian of Prussia and Napoleon Bonaparte, and by the end of that summer nothing in her life is where she left it. Across eight chapters the novel follows an encounter, a first night, a move, a Christmas with his family, and the slow arrival of an ending she can see coming and cannot stop. The author opens with a direct address to the reader: accept what you cannot change, and understand that loving someone means loving them exactly as they are, sometimes to the point of letting them go. Written first as notes and verses in the early 1990s and completed decades later, it is a short, unsparing book about the power of love and the price of it.
