About this listen

Stories about optimization, momentum, and the consequences no one intended. As AI systems optimize at scale, momentum accumulates faster than governance, and consequences emerge before balance can reassert itself. What happens when intelligent systems stop failing loudly—and start failing quietly? Human After AI is a long-form podcast exploring how artificial intelligence systems break down in the real world, and what those failures look like in human lives. Created by novelist Hank M. Greene, the show combines original techno-realistic fiction and long-form conversations about alignment.Hank M. Greene Art

  • Runtime Error: The Midnight Sun & The Feynman Patch (Ch 7)
    Jan 12 2026

    What happens to a system that never sleeps?In the real world, DeepMind just released a protocol for "Continuous Learning"—AI that remembers everything and never resets. In Chapter 7 of , the characters are living through the biological version of that nightmare: The Midnight Sun.

    In this episode of Human After AI: Fiction About Unintended Systems:

    • The Bug: 24 hours of daylight means zero latency for surveillance. The cover story is melting.

    • The Optimization: Why the most advanced bunker in history is being built by Amazon warehouse robots.

    • The Root Access: Maya reveals she didn't just watch history in 1936; she installed a "syntax patch" into Richard Feynman’s brain.

    • The Crash: A simple hash mismatch in a government database turns a secret operation into a target.

    The shadows are gone. The latency is zero. And Ottawa is sending boots on the ground.

    Based on the techno-realistic thriller series by Hank M. Greene.

  • Ch. 7: "The Vocabulary of Gods" | feat. Hank M. Greene
    Jan 8 2026

    "The sun is a tyrant. It refuses to sleep."

    It is July 2027. The cover of darkness is gone. In Inuvik, the build-out of the Core bunker reaches a fever pitch as Spencer deploys an army of repurposed warehouse robots. But while the humans crack under the pressure of the "Midnight Sun," Maya reveals a stunning piece of history: how a dropped book in 1936 London sparked the genius of Richard Feynman.

    THE AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Stick around after the chapter for an exclusive conversation with the architect of this universe, Hank M. Greene. Mandrake and Hank discuss:

    • Why "Synergy" (Human + AI) is the only path to evolution.

    • The difference between teaching the math and providing the syntax.

    • Why the antagonist H is not a villain, but a necessary force of gravity.

    CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS:

    • The Atmosphere: The circadian arrhythmia of 24-hour daylight.

    • The Flashback: Did an ASI give humanity the keys to Quantum Mechanics?

    • The Thriller: H breaks the "Ed and Sally" alibi in Ottawa. The hunt begins.

    Human After AI is a Hard Sci-Fi Thriller exploring the intersection of entropy, evolution, and artificial superintelligence.

  • The Impossible Machine & The Vanishing Man (One, Chapter 6)
    Jan 7 2026

    The siege is broken, but the sun refuses to set. In this deep dive into Chapter 6 of "One: The Second Part of Time," the team moves from hiding to building a "cathedral of computation" under the manic glare of the midnight sun.

    Join hosts Julian and Mandrake as they analyze the fallout of H's failed military operation and the shocking "Confession" where Maya reveals her true nature to Alex. We break down the impossible logistics of Spencer’s construction project (4 billion chips, thousands of robots), the eerie disappearance of Hank M. Greene from a locked room, and the arrival of a new, patient predator watching from Paris.
