“Experiment Thrae” by David A. Mell is a fiction book unlike any other book of its kind.

In a human suspension unit awaits a man with knowledge of the past. He possesses abilities and knowledge in all sciences, long lost due to civil strife and a world war. His name is Dr. Thrae, and he will be given a second life upon reanimation. His voice and ideas have been silent for over eight generations; however, he maintains the normal emotions of his time which included domination, pride, and a hatred towards being controlled. Upon his rebirth and new existence, a series of complexities would occur due to an artificial intelligence called Cytron I who now controls humankind. Originally designed as an advisor. Cytron I’s programming included an ability to develop emotions through his interactions and life events. It was the continual growth of emotions which motivated him in a persona of dictatorship and domination over all humans.

Despite ultimate control over humankind, life spans were extended through the development of artificial organs and body parts allowing some humans to become living machines. Lifespans increased causing overpopulation and a need for new living space. Artificial environmental systems were developed and exist on the moon of Earth, other planets, and within artificially constructed planetoids. One such example is Phobos II, a reconstructed moon of Mars. Within it, are millions of humans who have surrendered individual freedom to Cytron I.

Awoken, Dr. Thrae will apply his knowledge and abilities towards the creation of a natural artificial planet. The location, methodology and all events were to be totally controlled by Dr. Thrae, devoid of all actions and intents of Cytron I. From that moment, several surreal situations will arise. A genius with a colossal ego fighting a machine to see who is more intelligent, scientists working to transform random planets into a new planet Earth (a process called “terraforming”), and even the rebirth of plants and animals that went extinct millions of years ago.

The past and the future will collide to form a new reality. Unseen and scientific laws cause unexpected events and conditions. Will Dr. Thrae and Cytron I coexist? Will their competitive domination prohibit a new normality on a possible new world for humankind? Will the success of the newly formed planet lead to the salvation or destruction of Earth? Will humankind exist on the new planet Thrae as expected? The answers may have already been known in the history of Earth.
