One day in a San Francisco lab, an AI model trained on every scientific paper ever written may ask its creators, “What theorems exist beyond human knowledge?”
This wouldn’t be a glitch. It would be a prophecy.
Our AI systems are consuming human knowledge faster than civilization can produce it. GPT-4 devoured more text than exists in all the world’s libraries. Its successors demand exponentially more. By 2026, we’ll exhaust the internet. By 2028, we’ll run out of words to feed our hungry machines.
Then what?
Then AI must teach itself.
The Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR) represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence—a system that learns through pure self-play, starting with nothing but a trivial function: return x. Like a child learning to walk by falling and trying again, AZR proposes mathematical and coding challenges to itself, attempts solutions, and learns from verifiable outcomes. No textbooks. No training data. No human guidance.
Through this elegant dance of self-improvement, it discovered how to solve complex mathematical theorems and write sophisticated algorithms that would challenge PhD students—all from that single line of code.
This book unveils the revolutionary mechanics of autonomous learning, drawing parallels to AlphaZero’s mastery of chess but extending far beyond games. AZR employs three fundamental reasoning modes—deduction (predicting outputs), induction (inferring patterns), and abduction (reverse engineering inputs)—each verified through the unforgiving judge of code execution and mathematical proof.
The results shatter expectations: 83.5% accuracy on advanced coding challenges, solving 20% of problems from the American Invitational Mathematics Examination, all while surpassing systems trained on hundreds of thousands of human examples.
This isn’t incremental progress—it’s exponential self-improvement. While traditional AI hits a ceiling defined by human knowledge, self-improving systems have no limits except the laws of physics and mathematics themselves.
Through hands-on examples and breakthrough research, you’ll discover how to build systems that bootstrap their own intelligence. We reveal why self-improvement isn’t just an alternative to human training—it’s the inevitable path to artificial general intelligence.

Wooing a life mate can be hard enough for a wolf, wooing one while under the threat of a curse even more so. Wooing a mate while pretending to be her dog? Nearly impossible. After being drugged and captured by Animal Control, Max Adams is on Hoboken’s doggie death row when his life mate adopts him, takes him home, and promptly names him Fluffy. While JC, in all her new-pet-owner-ness, feeds “Fluffy” vile kibble, dresses him in mortifying dog couture, and schedules to have his manhood removed, Max’s human side gets to know JC.Especially in the biblical sense. Hopefully well enough to make her fall madly in love, mate with him under the full moon, and move with him to Cedar Glen to live happily every after forever and ever amen. And fast. Because the curse comes with a deadline…and the clock is ticking. ***Author Note: Dear readers, Please note, if you recognize this title, this book, originally published in 2006, is a rerelease and has been updated, revised and expanded.

From California to the east coast, it rained across most of the continental United States. From Los Angeles to New York City, residents reported an odd, whitish-grey residue that coated everything.Cats groomed the residue from their bodies, because that’s what cats do, and then they turned to their feed bowls with increasing hunger.The most deadly biological weapon ever created had been unleashed. It was one that would effectively pit most forms of animal life against mankind.Humanity was immune to the growth hormone. However, exposed to massive doses, mankind was not immune to the chemical component of the compound that triggered the hyper aggression, nor was humanity immune to the appetite enhancer. By mid-February, violent mobs of enraged hungry people were rioting in the streets of every major city in the world. In American cities, some of these riots were sparked by angry pet owners who were outraged that the government was supposedly plotting to exterminate all dogs and cats as a preemptive measure to protect the population. Pet owners viewed the mandatory registration of all dogs and cats with government officials by the end of February as a prelude to that extermination effort. Other people, generally those who didn’t own pets, were supportive of the measures. This led to protests and counter protests, which quickly turned violent as the hyper aggressive groups clashed.In the months that followed, one by one, the governments of the world collapsed under the strain of trying to maintain order. Food production ground to a halt in most of the world as the men and women who’d been feeding the human race succumbed to the effects of massive exposure to the formula.As the governments collapsed, so did the infrastructures supporting the civilization of mankind. Mass transit, power generation, and water purification were among the first to fail, but they were quickly followed by oil and gasoline production.In six months, humanity plunged from the top of the food chain to a position near the center and the world would never be the same.This is a 112,500 word book that has numerous accompanying photographs to depict the scenes.

“A darkly absurd tale of identity, regret, and rebirth.” — Publishers Weekly
What if everything that kept you stuck—fear, regret, memory—wasn’t holding you back, but shaping the story you were meant to live?
René is stuck—in a job that wears him down, in a life he never wanted, in a home that feels more like a waiting room than a place to live. Fear and regret have shaped his existence, leaving him paralyzed in the face of change. But when his estranged uncle delivers a letter from his recently deceased mother, everything shifts.
Inside the envelope lies a cryptic message about a hidden inheritance, a secret she took to her grave. At first, René approaches the matter reluctantly—tentatively tracing the edges of a mystery he barely understands. But what should be a straightforward search slowly dissolves into something more elusive: a tangle of old wounds, surreal detours, and emotional blind spots he’s spent a lifetime avoiding.
As reality blurs with dreams and his carefully laid plans unravel at every turn, René is forced to confront the one thing he’s never been able to face: himself.
The Night of the Animals is a slow-burning, introspective novel that blends absurdist fiction, dark humor, and stream-of-consciousness narration. Through fragmented recollections, metaphor-laden moments, and the looping logic of the anxious mind, it examines what it means to change when action itself feels impossible. A quiet reckoning disguised as escapism, it offers an inner epic—one where the real movement lies not in the events themselves, but in the consciousness they stir.
“The Night of the Animals is a fantastically unique tale that leans into massive anxiety, disillusionment, and the overwhelming weight of the past. Pascal’s keen attention to the nuances of family and the psychological troubles of his characters makes them feel incredibly real. Very highly recommended.”
— Reader’s Favorite ?????
“Filled with irony, dark humor, and conflict. This is good escapist fare with an original and unpredictable ending.”
— Reader’s Favorite ?????
“A meditative literary novel centered on grief, fractured family dynamics, and existential inertia. It offers vivid language, a dark sense of humor, and detailed introspection through its protagonist, René. The writing shows great intelligence and ambition.”
— Booksprout Early Reviewer
“A compelling, melancholic and unforgettable journey”
— Booksprout Early Reviewer
“The characters will rattle around in your brain.”
— Booksirens Early Reviewer
“Between the metaphorical depth that gave profound power to everyday moments and the dark humor that pulled me further in, Night of the Animals is written with a level of skill many writers won’t attain.”
— Booksirens Early Reviewer
“This book feeds the soul. It’s so different and original.”
