Endless Dream

Endless Dream by Gigi Ganguly is a speculative fiction novel that imagines a far-future world where humans, non-human animals, and artificial intelligence exist alongside one another. Moving across different periods and characters, the novel explores companionship, virtual existence, identity, family, technology, and the possibilities of coexistence.

From an older woman in Noida finding companionship through an AI avatar of her dog to characters caught between physical and virtual worlds, the story presents a series of interconnected visions of the future. Ganguly combines imaginative storytelling, empathy, and humour to question familiar ideas about intelligence, relationships, and what it means to exist.

About This Book

The novel spans thousands of years, beginning in 2195 and moving through increasingly distant futures. Each episode introduces different characters facing unusual relationships with artificial intelligence and changing forms of human and non-human life.

In 2999, Luhar's visit to the National Museum leads to an unexplained AI loop. In 3809, a struggle involving the heirs of a powerful AI corporation produces an unexpected contender. Later, Inspector Dos inhabits the physical world while his deceased family exists virtually, while documentary filmmaker Grey57 chooses physical life away from her family in the future society of Inwo.

Endless Dream moves beyond the simple question of whether AI is beneficial or harmful. Instead, it presents a sprawling fictional vision of coexistence and asks how relationships, identity, family, and existence might change as intelligence and technology evolve.
