Eleven Eleven - the Illumination

Eleven Eleven - The Illumination is a tech-thriller set in a coming transition as machine intelligence surpasses the human brain. A tremor to the foundational twin spires of spirituality and evolution, it foreshadows dramatic change for humanity from corridors of power to the masses struggling in a world of ever larger and seemingly insurmountable challenges. When a group of technologists determine problems on earth have become too complex, interrelated, even existential, they surreptitiously band together to find solutions. The group seeks broad enhancement of human intelligence with a simple goal. Smarter humans will better understand challenging problems while unmasking the corporate and government propaganda that obfuscates the best outcomes. Prominent entrepreneur, Jale Shepherd finds early success with sophisticated brain-computer interface technology and takes the first steps into a new world.

He is met there by a strange visitor with claims to the ultimate purpose for humanity, the long evolutionary journey to the here and now. Meaning and destiny collide on the precipice of an intelligence explosion. Success represents a direct threat to entrenched ideology, leading to an epic struggle for the soul of humanity with heaven and earth in the balance.
