P. Singh Foreword: Prof. Paramjit Singh Ramana – “Through the Looking Code: Reflections on AI, Ethics and Imagination” Publishers: Canbridge Publications, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada ISBN: 9798286075041 Edition: First, June 2025 Price: US$9.99 (Paperback) Book Reviewer: Dr. Harjinder Singh, Chief Editor, Canada Sikh Times, Toronto, Canada Echoes of a Digital Dawn: AI’s Triumphs and Trials by Dr. D. P. Singh is a remarkable contribution to the growing literature on artificial intelligence, one that stands out by combining scientific imagination with profound philosophical and spiritual reflection. This anthology of eighteen science fiction stories goes far beyond the usual fascination with futuristic technology. Each narrative not only envisions new possibilities of AI but also courageously engages with the timeless questions of consciousness, morality, and the essence of being human. From ethical dilemmas faced by sentient algorithms to the spiritual voids of a machine-shaped society, Dr. Singh crafts stories that provoke both intellectual curiosity and moral reflection. Each story is self-contained yet threaded together by common questions: What does it mean to create a digital consciousness? How do machines inherit human biases and moral failures? Can they also inherit, or develop, our capacity for compassion, doubt, and transcendence? The narratives skillfully explore such questions without falling into abstraction; they remain grounded in characters, dilemmas, and worlds that feel immediate and believable. What makes this work especially compelling is the author’s ability to weave together diverse threads, cutting-edge science, spiritual wisdom, and global ethical concerns into a single tapestry. The result is not mere speculative fiction, but a profound exploration of the crossroads where science meets spirit. Issues such as digital surveillance, ecological collapse, and algorithmic bias are not treated as abstract possibilities; instead, they are presented as urgent questions of our times, demanding the reader’s attention. The book is not only about AI as a tool or threat but about AI as a mirror. Readers encounter sentient algorithms wrestling with the ethics of choice, machines questioning their creators, and societies grappling with the risks of digital governance and ecological collapse. By framing AI in contexts that range from environmental stewardship to spiritual awakening, the anthology widens its relevance to audiences across disciplines, scientists, ethicists, educators, and seekers alike. The stories resonate with a broad audience: the tech-savvy reader will appreciate the authenticity of the scientific concepts, philosophers will admire the ethical depth, and seekers of spiritual wisdom will find guidance in the reflections embedded within the narratives. The anthology also serves as a wake-up call, reminding us that AI is no longer a distant prospect but an immediate reality shaping our present and future. Dr. D. P. Singh’s writing is visionary yet accessible, rich with moral clarity yet grounded in practical realities. His work challenges us not only to imagine intelligent machines but also to ask how humanity itself must evolve in response. In an era where technology often outpaces wisdom, Echoes of a Digital Dawn stands as both a mirror and a compass. It urges us to engage with AI not with fear or blind optimism, but with humility, responsibility, and a sense of imagination. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and spirituality. It is not just a collection of stories; it is a call for collective reflection and conscious guidance in shaping the digital future. A truly thought-provoking and visionary work, Echoes of a Digital Dawn deserves to be widely read, discussed, and cherished.</blockquote>
