Groundbreaking novel explores the power dynamics between AI, humanity, and the intelligence of life

  • "The book uniquely succeeds in awakening the human empathy in us readers to be able to relate to the experiences that the characters have in a future with total AI integration in society. The depth of the book touches on everything from the technical to the spiritual and enables the reader's reflections. To create reflection and dialogue, I believe, is the most important value Fredrik manages to convey."

    Melker Larsson, Sustainability Entrepreneur and Host of The Decade Podcast.

  • "The book took me on a journey to a place where human consciousness meets the technology of the future. It challenges and vividly presents a parallel (future) time and makes me think. How do we really live our lives?"

    Amit Paul, Co-founder of World of Wisdom (podcast) and Awareness Association

  • "A brilliantly transformative story, which I couldn't stop reading until I reached the last page. I have never before read a book that manages to invite the reader into such a profound existential experience combined with the reality of the ongoing digital paradigm shift."

    Mentor and fmr, Vice Mayor of Culture of the City of Stockholm

  • "The book captivated me from start to finish and contains a fascinating blend of humanity (biology), technology, and spirituality. The portrayal of AI felt very realistic and well-thought-out. It provided me with a clear visualization of a possible future where AI has learned to encode the intelligence of nature. To restore balance in the ecosystem, humanity needs to understand that nothing is separate from the whole. I enjoyed the ensemble of characters and how they illustrated different shadows of humanity and also various creative talents. I was drawn to the descriptions of shadows as a strategy to fill the void experienced in the separation from life."

    Lisa Renander, Award winning Entrepreneur and Journalist

  • "The book I've been waiting for, without even knowing it. I've never read anything like it. A bit like 'Don't Look Up' but on a different level!"

    Charlotte Schill, IQ 157

  • "UNUM captivates with its exploration of our future in the singularity, echoing the collective urgency seen in Kim Stanley Robinson’s book, 'Ministry of the Future,' yet charting its own path through the intricacies of human morality and ethics. It masterfully brings the looming threat of inaction into personal focus, compelling us towards change. A truly engaging journey that leaves you pondering the profound questions of our collective destiny."

    James Ehrlich, Director, Compassionate Sustainability Stanford University School of Medicine / CCARE Institute. Faculty at Singularity University, Senior Fellow at NASA Ames Research Center, and a White House / OSTP Appointee. Founder, ReGen Villages

  • "UNUM is a remarkably clever book that reminds one of 'The Alchemist', as well as The celestine prophecy and makes you pause and ask: What is truly important in life? Why do I exist? Where am I headed? Perhaps now is the time for all of us to ask ourselves that."

    Johan Malm, Book Critic, Swedish National Television

An all-powerful AI deity named UNUM takes control of the world.

Each individual is allotted only 24 hours to recreate harmony between themselves and the ecosystem of nature. This sets off a chain of events that explores the innermost value systems of humanity, the power of technology, and the possibility for humanity to live within the planet's constraints.

The novel UNUM, AI - God or Servant? is written by AI Philosopher and Serial Entrepreneur Fredrik Forss.

About Fredrik

I am fascinated by the mystery of life.

What is the meaning in life? Why are we here? What makes us happy? Every answer opens up new questions until it's a mystery to be lived. 

From travels around the world, initiatives as startups to meet the challenges of our lives, a new way of living for changemakers of our time, as well as exploring spiritual ancient practices, living in solitude for years. But in the end it is the life we live in our everyday life that is our greatest teacher, our direct feedback loop of our relationship with the divine gift of a life as a conscious being.   

Fredrik Forss is a life international philosopher who implements his insights into the “reality” of life in order to test its validity, gathering data, re-learning, leading to insights for the next step. Some have become start-ups, impact initiatives. Some relationships and for the last six years this book has grown from the exploration of what is the most real and  loving way to save humankind from its own destruction? And is it even possible?
