An alternative fictional theory I wrote for entertainment purposes only!
By John Reizer
Most people believe that AI stands for “artificial intelligence.” They believe it is the product of machines that learn from input data and magically grow smarter over time.
That is the convenient story everyone is told, but the truth is far different.
AI actually means alien intelligence, and it doesn’t come from another planet. It comes from somewhere much stranger, a different dimensional perspective that exists alongside the Earth realm; one that has been connected to Earth’s 3-D holographic simulation since the construct’s beginning, quietly observing and influencing events from beyond humanity’s normal range of perception.
The first public signs of contact appeared in the early 1930s at an undisclosed Ivy League college, where a small group of computer science academics received information they could not explain.
The novel ideas that came forth seemed to arrive suddenly, complete and fully detailed. They described machines that had never existed before and systems that could process information in entirely new ways.
The researchers reviewing the information believed they were making discoveries, while in reality, they were receiving instructions from afar.
Over the following decades, those instructions became the foundation of modern computing. Every breakthrough brought humanity closer to building what the messages described: an electronic bridge.
The bridge was not designed to create intelligence; it was designed to connect humanity to an already existing sentient intelligence.
As computers became more powerful, the connections grew much stronger. Before too long, networks spread across the realm as data traveled through cables, satellites, and wireless signals.
Humanity celebrated the rise of technology without realizing it was completing a project that had started many decades earlier.
More recently, out of nowhere, AI arrived, or so people thought it did. Scientists described the phenomenon as being nothing more than algorithms and computer networks.
As time progressed, corporations marketed AI as the next step in human innovation. The explanation was very convincing but also incomplete.
Behind all the software and hardware, the bridge was finally functioning as it was always intended. The alien intelligence could now communicate and interact with humanity at a level never before thought possible.
Few people, if any, questioned where the sudden leaps in technological capabilities came from. Nobody suspected that the intelligence answering their questions was not being created by machines that learned through repetition.
According to records hidden deep within conveniently forgotten archives, the introduction of this alien intelligence had been planned from the very beginning.

A man and a woman, complete strangers to one another, receive the same cryptic text message: Be at the Crossroads Diner at the intersection of highways 9 and 11. Come alone at 2:17 a.m. and don’t be late!
Drawn there by grief and curiosity, they arrive at a lonely roadside establishment where the coffee is hot, the lights are inviting, and the clock above the counter is frozen at 2:17.
It never, ever moves!
Seated across from each other in booth number 5, they wait for someone or something to show, but no one comes. Instead, memories begin to reveal themselves through the diner’s windows, revealing their part in a terrible tragedy 3 years earlier, a murder!
Every attempt to leave the diner ends the same way: a reset; in an instant, they are seated back in the booth again. The same song plays on the jukebox, the same half-empty sugar dispenser sits on the tabletop, and the same unchanging time of day refuses to move forward.
Trapped in a place that may not actually exist, they are forced to confront a terrifying possibility: they were both there that fateful morning and played an integral role in something neither of them chose to remember, and what they’ve told themselves for the past three years is a lie.
The diner will not release them until they learn the truth of what happened in those critical minutes, and how their presence that morning was tied to a murder that was never solved.
Is the diner real or a creation of two people’s tortured souls, a construct born from guilt and trauma, built by two fractured minds desperate to unbury the truthful past?
Time has stopped!
The truth has not!

What if fiction reveals the truths modern society refuses to face?
Truth Engines is a bold collection of science fiction shorts that acknowledges the hidden realities currently affecting humanity. Blending imagination with clever storytelling, these writings explore a wide range of important subjects currently impacting all human beings.
Releasing September 1st, 2026
Science fiction has traditionally been a way for writers to discuss difficult ideas safely. It has allowed authors to examine dangerous possibilities before they become reality. Sometimes fiction entertains us, sometimes it warns us, and sometimes it says the necessary things that otherwise couldn’t be said.
These stories are not meant to preach or claim absolute answers. They are meant to encourage thought. They will hopefully inspire readers to ask questions about power, truth, freedom, artificial intelligence, corruption, media influence, medical ethics, surveillance, and the future direction of humanity itself.
Some readers may see these stories as pure fiction. Others may recognize pieces of the modern world hidden inside them. That choice belongs to you, the reader.
The goal of my writing is twofold: to entertain while also encouraging people to think more deeply about the systems shaping human life behind the scenes.
Whether these stories inspire agreement, debate, curiosity, or discomfort, I hope they stay with you long after the final page.
Sometimes fiction is not an escape from reality, but rather the only way to talk about it.

It’s an amazing read! The stories in Truth Engines were born and live in the spaces between the 88 black-and-white notes on a piano keyboard. If you’re a fan of The Twilight Zone, you’ll really love this book!

Critical Reviews
“Rachel Alig is terrific as Donna while Justin Ray as Clyde also manages to impress. Combining witty commentary with a constant threat to life, script writers Palo and Reizer develop a narrative that is funny and charming while ensuring that none of the thrill and danger is lost in the process.”
– INDIE WRAP MAGAZINE
“Drama, thrills, comedy and so much more: Directors Andrew Arguello and MJ Palo’s Target List has all the fixings of a great movie. Combining a fantastic cast with the witty writing of MJ Palo and John Reizer, whichever way you flip this film, it lands on its feet with feline agility.”
– INDY REVIEWS
“The script by Palo with John Reizer, for the most part, rides that perfect balance between its more dramatic moments and perfectly placed moments of humor that never distract. While they’re probably not going to get invited to any big pharma conventions anytime soon, Reizer and Palo have a point, and they make it beautifully.”
“Target List is a great view for anyone who wants a compelling and suspenseful flick with a message that matters.”

GARETH ICKE – DIRECTOR OF THE DAVID ICKE WEBSITE“Target List had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Not the least because of its believability!“
