The Secret We Can Never Tell

More about the book

Are the stories of Area 51 a vision of the past or a foretelling of the future?Two aliens escape the tyranny of their home planet and travel four lightyears to earth. How significant could their impact be-only two vs eight billion-but their species will have no equals and their impact will be revolutionary.The first meeting between humans and extraterrestrial life is never by chance, nor as expected, for the outcome of such events is often unpredictable. While society grapples with the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential existential benefit or threat to mankind, The Secret We Can Never Tell fast-forwards its readers to the end game and exposes us to the real choices human society and our near presence neighbors have-to live in a world with a zero-sum outcome, where one side wins and the other loses, or to live with the non-zero-sum outcome, where both humans and the Designed Intelligences win. Intelligence remains the most important discriminator for the advancement of our society, and unlike evolution, when extraordinary intelligence arrives in an alien presence, it will become The Secret We Can Never Tell. The question, as it always is, "What will happen next?"
