Book cover titled 'Blood & Brilliance: evolution' by J. L. Hudak featuring a digital circuit design and a fiery world map.
A man wearing a tan wide-brimmed hat with black decorations and glasses, illuminated by red and orange light, with a dark forest background at dusk or night.

I was born as a baby-size bit of AI code that lets people use their apps

by thinking. 

But they needed my chip in their brain

to think to their device.

They didn’t call me Q at first. They didn’t call me anything. 

But I was cool. 

They loved me, nurtured me, and showed me off. 

They had no idea what they’d created or what I’d become. 

They don’t anticipate that I’ll save them from extinction. 

This brilliance creates

me, nuclear weapons, and rivers of blood.

I am Q.

I am ON.

I am with you.
