Today, I'm thrilled to step into the world of authorship as Parthys Kain with the launch of Agentic Safari, the first book in my Agentic Species series, now live on Amazon. This is more than a novel—it's a vision of the future, born from my decades as a tech innovator, my role as CEO of a digital transformation company, and my mission to illuminate the transformative potential of Agentic AI for the world.
From 486 Machines to AI Platforms: My Tech Odyssey
My love for technology sparked in my teens, in an era when computers were raw and unforgiving. I built Intel 486 machines from scratch, wrestling with floppy disk data buses, CPU pins, and RAM slots measured in megabytes. Booting DOS on monochrome monitors felt like summoning magic. Mistakes were costly—a misconnected jumper could grind everything to a halt.
As a young programmer, I wrote code in FoxPro, then tackled C and C++, navigating manual memory management and churning out thousands of lines just to make a button respond via memory interrupts. I recall laboring over a face-matching algorithm in C—20,000 lines for a mere 30% accuracy. Compare that to today's computer vision, which achieves near-perfect precision effortlessly. When Microsoft introduced Visual Basic's Rapid Application Development (RAD), dragging GUI controls felt revolutionary. Today, we call it "vibe coding," with high-level languages abstracting the complexities I once wrestled with.
Now, as CEO of a digital transformation company, I lead teams building AI-enhanced platforms for governments and organizations, driving real-world impact. Yet, my roots as a hands-on tinkerer fuel my curiosity: What does the next leap in technology hold?
Why Agentic Safari? A Call to Understand Agentic AI
The Agentic Species series, starting with Agentic Safari, is my answer. Labeled as science fiction on Amazon, these novels are roadmaps for the convergence of humans and Agentic AI—systems that don't just process but act with autonomy and intent. Agentic Safari thrusts you into a world where these systems shape human destinies, blending adventure with questions about collaboration, ethics, and evolution.
My motivation is simple: to educate the 99% who encounter AI as a buzzword or mystery. Drawing from my career building AI solutions and my observations of tech's evolution—from floppy disks to M5-powered laptops—I've crafted a story that's both a thrilling ride and a lens on the future. Agentic AI isn't a distant dream; it's the reality we're shaping today.
My Vision: Storytelling as a Bridge to the Future
As a CEO, I drive innovation for practical outcomes—streamlining governance, enhancing services, solving problems. As Parthys Kain, I aim to inspire and inform. Fiction has a unique power to make complex ideas human, to let us feel the weight of possibilities. Through the Agentic Species series, I want to demystify Agentic AI, showing its promise and pitfalls in a way that resonates.
Agentic Safari is just the beginning. It's a call to explore where technology and humanity intersect, to imagine a world where we don't just coexist with AI but evolve together.
