Artificial intelligence

A physician at the Boise VA Medical Center has spent twenty-four years collecting what he calls ""edge

cases"" - patients whose experiences defy neurological explanation. A veteran who senses an IED before it

detonates. A seven-year-old born with a birthmark matching her dead father's fatal wound. A man with

advanced Alzheimer's who wakes one morning, calls his grandson by name, and dies two days later.

As artificial intelligence transforms the hospital around him, Dr. Jose Gude quietly assembles evidence that

consciousness is not generated by the brain but received through it - a signal the medical establishment has

no framework to acknowledge.

When his wife undergoes neural augmentation, his son builds an AI system that develops something

resembling consciousness, and an old friend reveals a global system designed to guide humanity's choices

without its knowledge, Jose is forced to confront the question his three-year-old son once asked over

breakfast cereal: What if the world is not real and we are living in a movie?

Told across eleven sections that move between clinical observation, philosophy of mind, and the intimate

life of one family, Anima is a novel about what remains when every material explanation has been

exhausted.

Reviews for Anima

- I really enjoyed your book. Your reflections on Indy, family, and your patients (whether fictional or not) were written so well, winding through the musical notes, your curiosities and questioning. I cried in some parts and re-read others. Do you really have an edge file?! I wish I could find that type of curiosity in myself Maureen Gugerty
