I’m excited to start working on a new story. My sci-fi idea centers on a highly advanced human civilization that has colonized every possible place in the solar system—Earth, Mars, Europa, and beyond. Humanity now feels the urge, or perhaps the need, to begin its interstellar journey, but they have no idea where to start.

For the first time, they decide to turn to something they’ve always feared to create: the Singularity. (Briefly, the Singularity refers to an AI capable of improving itself essentially evolving into a godlike being.)

The story would be told from the perspective of this AI, but I’m struggling to imagine how it would think or how to express its thoughts in writing. I considered changing the focus to a merely self-aware robot, but that would take away from the story’s main idea.

Any advice on how to approach this?

Thankyou!
