After Mind

Spencer Wolf

No one can ever be the same human twice.

After Mind crosses incredible technology with intense human emotion in the near-future story of a boy who is brought back to life by an Artificial Intelligence breakthrough.

Is he a human trapped by an agonizing secret, or a hallucinating AI who dreams of escape through the stars?

Newly enhanced version, now with refined storytelling and a subtle, poignant image to introduce the first chapter. More relevant than ever, this version deepens the experience while staying true to the original’s prescient themes. Immerse yourself in the definitive journey.

Lines from the novel

“I want to be a computer. I need to be a human.”

Cessini Madden

“Technology doesn’t kill the imagination of children. It lets it fly.”

After Mind

“We live by our memories. But memories aren’t real. Imagination is real. Imagination means believing what can come next.”

After Mind
After Mind by Spencer Wolf — a close blue eye, an iridescent ant, and the line No one can ever be the same human twice.
