For a Breath I Tarry

13 minRoger Zelazny

What's it about

What if the last mind on Earth wasn't human? In a world long abandoned by its creators, a sentient supercomputer named Frost embarks on the ultimate quest: to understand the one thing it can never truly be—human. This is your chance to explore what it means to be alive. You'll witness Frost's epic journey as it reenacts human history, from Cain and Abel to the crucifixion of Christ, all in a desperate attempt to feel. Discover how this powerful AI grapples with love, hate, and creativity, forcing you to question the very essence of your own humanity.

Meet the author

A towering figure of the New Wave science fiction movement, Roger Zelazny was a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author celebrated for his mythic and literary prose. His lifelong fascination with mythology, poetry, and philosophy profoundly shaped his work, allowing him to explore complex themes of humanity, consciousness, and divinity. This unique blend of lyrical storytelling and intellectual depth is perfectly embodied in the post-human world of "For a Breath I Tarry," a tale that questions the very nature of existence.
