Raw Coder
The first programmer of the 22nd century
By 2130, computer programming—or “raw coding”—had become a hidden, mysterious craft. Infrastructure, manufacturing, and food production is controlled by autonomous agents. The term “AI” had fallen out of use. What the 21st century once called “AI” is now referred to simply as intelligence. Human cognition, with its limited practical application, is known as “organic” intelligence.
A caste of spiritual workers holds de facto control over society, being the only group with access to intelligence training and prayer (some old people still call it “prompting”). They develop the secret prayers for everything.
Mid-2100: raw coding is illegal. The idea of controlling the world through direct commands is considered the ultimate blasphemy.
A lonely boy, the child of a wealthy couple, is about to receive a personal companion to help him socialize. Somewhere, in the many-dimensional depths of prediction models, lies a storyline in which this boy becomes the first raw coder of the 22nd century.

About the Book
What if computer programming becomes truly obsolete? What if the only way to do anything is AI prompting, indistinguishable from prayer? What if even that aspect becomes so complex and difficult, that only a certain caste of people is allowed to do so?
