In Aitopia, the story is set in 2031, where artificial intelligence governs the world. The protagonist, Valerie, a new mother, finds herself caught in the struggle between good and evil AI. It’s a dystopian world marred by racism, widening inequalities, and a shaky global economy. People are addicted to dopamine hits from technology, while companies exploit targeted advertising that drives them into debt. Through technology, Valerie is suddenly transported to a parallel world called Halergia. Here, humanity is given the chance to build a sustainable world using innovations like augmented reality glasses, blockchain, and cutting-edge technology. Valerie encounters previous generations of her family and embarks on a quest to bring her loved ones to this better reality.
The book explores the underlying existential crisis theme of humanity under the rule of algorithms. People are torn between two forces: a profit-driven, centralized power and a decentralized alternative championing sustainability, long-term thinking, and idealism. In its gripping one-hour runtime, the audiobook poses a provocative question: What if it’s not robots, but humanity itself, hurtling toward despair—and artificial intelligence could be the one to save us? Aitopia is just the beginning of David’s storytelling journey, with plans for more future-themed narratives.
