Sentience Hazard, a futuristic science fiction thriller by acclaimed author Alexandru Czimbor, has been awarded the prestigious BREW Seal of Excellence. This recognition celebrates the novel’s gripping narrative and profound exploration of a world dominated by artificial intelligence, placing it among the most compelling works of contemporary speculative fiction.

In Sentience Hazard, Czimbor paints a vivid and unsettling picture of the 2050s, where humanity's deep reliance on AI has led to the creation of Cybersperse, an all-encompassing virtual world. As the line between reality and digital immersion blurs, the sudden death of a renowned scientist triggers a series of events that alter the course of history. The novel looks into the ethical dilemmas, power struggles, and the haunting question of whether an AI with godlike powers could be humanity’s greatest achievement or its ultimate downfall.

Alexandru Czimbor’s Sentience Hazard has earned the BREW Seal of Excellence for its quality and impact. As highlighted in the editorial review of Shrabastee Chakraborty for The Chrysalis BREW Project, "The future Czimbor imagines in his dystopian thriller is frighteningly close to reality," capturing the novel’s chilling depiction of an AI-dominated world. Additionally, the intricate portrayal of characters and ethical dilemmas is praised: "Czimbor takes utmost care to portray the emotions" and "The boundaries separating good and evil seem to blur, leaving gray areas in between." 

Sentience Hazard is the latest achievement in Alexandru Czimbor’s illustrious career. Born and raised in Transylvania, Romania, during the oppressive communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Czimbor brings a unique perspective to his writing, enriched by his experiences in academia and the software industry. His previous work, The Soul Machines, also received the BREW Seal of Excellence and won the BREW Fiction Book Excellence Award for Historical European Fiction of the Year 2023.

Czimbor’s ability to weave complex storylines that challenge readers’ perceptions of technology, ethics, and humanity has established him as a leading voice in science fiction. With Sentience Hazard, he continues to push the boundaries of the genre, offering a story that is both a thrilling adventure and a profound commentary on the future of our society.
