			<description><![CDATA[<p>In <em>Aitopia</em>, the story is set in 2031, where artificial intelligence governs the world. The protagonist, Valerie, a new mother, finds herself caught in the struggle between good and evil AI. It’s a dystopian world marred by racism, widening inequalities, and a shaky global economy. People are addicted to dopamine hits from technology, while companies exploit targeted advertising that drives them into debt. Through technology, Valerie is suddenly transported to a parallel world called <em>Halergia</em>. Here, humanity is given the chance to build a sustainable world using innovations like augmented reality glasses, blockchain, and cutting-edge technology. Valerie encounters previous generations of her family and embarks on a quest to bring her loved ones to this better reality.</p><br><p>The book explores the underlying existential crisis theme of humanity under the rule of algorithms. People are torn between two forces: a profit-driven, centralized power and a decentralized alternative championing sustainability, long-term thinking, and idealism. In its gripping one-hour runtime, the audiobook poses a provocative question: <em>What if it’s not robots, but humanity itself, hurtling toward despair—and artificial intelligence could be the one to save us?</em> <em>Aitopia</em> is just the beginning of David’s storytelling journey, with plans for more future-themed narratives.</p><br><p><strong>Background and Author Insights</strong></p><p>The idea for <em>Aitopia</em> was sparked nine years ago with the birth of David’s first daughter.
