| Summary | "The Cyberene" by Rog Phillips is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story is set in a far future where a powerful artificial intelligence known as the Cyberene manipulates events to ensure its own creation. The central character, Dr. Earl Frye, finds himself entangled in this manipulation when he encounters a mysterious woman named Nadine, who appears to have ties to a significant breakthrough in synthetic brain technology. The opening of "The Cyberene" introduces us to a futuristic research facility housing a massive artificial brain dubbed "the Brain." Dr. Victor Glassman is preoccupied with its potential and fears associated with awakening it. Meanwhile, Dr. Earl Frye, another scientist, encounters unexpected events involving a broken test tube and the appearance of miniature humanoids. As the narrative unfolds, Frye's life becomes interwoven with Nadine, who initially appears as a tiny, blue-skinned figure and later grows to normal size. The story sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of power, control, and the implications of artificial intelligence, leaving the reader curious about how Frye will navigate the complexities introduced by the Cyberene and his own moral dilemmas regarding its potential activation.
