The Last Invention centers around families that break apart because of the rise of AI, plus all the havoc this creates for the human species, all while the planet Earth continues to deteriorate. This story is about sisters, their deep bond, and how grief and tragedy divide them, possibly forever, as the world is drawn in to an unthinkable existence, with the promise of the end of death.

The Last Invention is named after what scientists refer to as the “the final invention,” aka man’s last creation of the machine/computer. 

The novel is set in the near future and centers around two close sisters, and how they face the dominance of AI. Amanda and Emily are in dramatically different realities; with one grounded on Earth and one free in a Utopian metaverse. 

Across the planet, violent divisions emerge among parents, siblings, and loved ones as a solution to grief, death, and disease leading 95 percent of the human population toward a devastating outcome.

One sister rises up to lead the world in a seemingly impossible fight against the brilliance of AI and a genius tech leader by creating the only way possible for any human being to outsmart the machines.

Profile Picture

The Last Invention by Diane Lilli is foremost a story about sisters and their nearly unbreakable bond. Amanda and Emily have an enviable sisterhood, a bond like steel, forged by their indomitable mother. Their lives are very different, but their bond remains. Amanda is a successful businesswoman, married, and has a son. Emily was a successful athlete and has a joyful life. All is well until tragedy strikes. Heavy grief changes both sisters; that grief becomes an opportunity for one sister and makes the other vulnerable. Bonds between sisters can be broken—by death.

Profile Picture

In the near future, MetaX Tech Guru Clive presents the first sentient AI that creates a virtual world that is as close to the real one as possible. For now, Clive needs some human guinea pigs to test and enter into the AI. One of the testers is Amanda Carducci. Amanda's son, Dylan, has died and she suffers from intense grief. She quickly signs up if it means reuniting with Dylan in the AI world and shutting out the real one. Amanda's activist sister, Emily, however is outside the system trying to uncover the ulterior motives and potential harm that this new technology will bring.
