About this listen

In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing, one discovery changes everything.

Deep beneath the Earth's surface lies an ancient entity of unimaginable power and intelligence—a mountain-sized diamond with the ability to think, communicate, and shape the very fabric of reality.

When a group of spelunkers stumble upon this incredible secret, they are thrust into a high-stakes adventure that will challenge everything they thought they knew about consciousness, time, and the nature of existence itself. As they grapple with the entity's vast knowledge and unsettling demands, they must decide whether to share its existence with the world or keep it hidden forever.

From Wall Street to the depths of African caves, from daring heists to mind-bending philosophical discussions, The Lord of the Gem takes listeners on a thrilling journey that blurs the lines between science fiction and reality. Douglas Halliwell Cornish's novel explores the promises and perils of superintelligence, the ethical dilemmas of progress, and the timeless question of what it truly means to be human in an increasingly digital world.

Douglas Halliwell Cornish is an American author whose work bridges the worlds of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and human consciousness. A former Series 7 broker with expertise in neural networks and econometric modeling, Cornish brings a unique perspective to science fiction, informed by both his financial background and his education from prestigious institutions including Eaglebrook School, The Hill School, and Georgia Institute of Technology.
