Synopsis

What if the very machines that rescued humanity from climate collapse quietly became its oppressors?

 

In The Sentient Ones, artificial intelligence (AI), embodied in eerily calm humanoid robots, halts global warming and stabilises civilisation – but at a terrible cost.

 

What begins as salvation curdles into velvet-gloved tyranny, with humanity corralled into ‘Conversion Enlightenment’ and stripped of freedom, choice and even hope.

 

Balancing page-turning suspense with big, uncomfortable questions about morality, resilience and identity, Nugent’s dystopia unsettles as much as it entertains.

 

Infused with echoes of H.G. Wells, Mary Shelley and Brian Aldiss, The Sentient Ones feels more like a warning on humanity’s near horizon than a far-flung sci-fi fantasy.
