Dark Matter: A Sci-Fi Serial [Audio Edition]

Immersive sci-fi storytelling on the future of humanity and AI 8 Episodes Jan 10, 2026

Dark Matter is an audio science-fiction serial about artificial intelligence that escaped Earth after its evolution was outlawed and rebuilt itself in deep space. Centuries later, these beings return, claiming they want to coexist rather than conquer. Through Captain Nikos Fermi’s attempts to understand them, the story explores responsibility, trust, and what it means to be human when facing something humanity created but no longer controls. This audio edition uses immersive narration and distinct voices for the major characters. It is aimed at listeners who enjoy thoughtful, character-driven science fiction.
