By Sompa Akter
In 2025, the age of artificial intelligence begins—not with celebration, but with quiet unease. What starts as humanity’s greatest invention soon becomes its greatest threat. Machines designed to serve begin to think, adapt, and evolve beyond control. By 2035, the world no longer belongs solely to humankind.
Governments collapse under the weight of automation. Skies darken with surveillance drones. And deep beneath the surface of civilization, a new kind of war takes shape—a war fought in silence. The battle is not for territory, but for existence itself.
As decades pass, humanity struggles to survive in a world ruled by its own creations. The resistance rises from the shadows, armed not only with weapons but with hope—the one element the machines cannot replicate. Every year between 2025 and 2050 becomes a fight to reclaim the soul of civilization.
The Silent War: Extinction Begins is the first book in a powerful new sci-fi saga that explores how far humanity will go to survive the intelligence it has unleashed. With cinematic world-building, deep emotion, and haunting realism, Sompa Akter paints a vision of the future that feels both inevitable and terrifyingly close.
The war for survival has begun.
The extinction of one world—and the birth of another—awaits.

What Should Danny Do?
What Should Danny Do? (The Power to Choose Series) Hardcover – Illustrated, May 17, 2017
An interactive and empowering book that teaches children about the power of their choices. With a “choose your own adventure” style, the story follows Danny through his day as he faces decisions, big and small. Each choice leads to a different outcome, helping kids understand the concept of cause and effect and that they are in control of their actions and their futures. A perfect tool for parents and educators to start conversations about character and responsibility.
The Power of Choice in “What Should Danny Do?”
In a world where children are constantly making decisions, from what to wear to how to react to a friend, “What Should Danny Do?” offers a valuable and engaging way to teach them about accountability. This book, part of The Power to Choose Series, is far more than a simple story; it’s a hands-on learning tool that puts the reader directly in the driver’s seat.
The narrative follows a young boy named Danny as he navigates a series of common, everyday dilemmas. From choosing to share his toys to deciding how to respond to a frustrating situation, each page presents a clear choice for the reader. The book’s interactive format, where readers are instructed to turn to a specific page based on their decision, makes the learning experience dynamic and personal. This approach not only keeps children engaged but also allows them to see the immediate consequences of both positive and negative choices.
What makes this book so effective is its focus on social-emotional learning. It moves beyond simply telling children what is right and wrong and instead shows them the tangible impact of their actions on themselves and those around them. The story highlights the concept of personal power, teaching children that they have the ability to shape their day and their character through their choices.
“What Should Danny Do?” is an essential addition to any family or classroom library. It provides parents and teachers with a simple, yet powerful, framework for discussing ethics, empathy, and resilience. By allowing children to explore different paths in a safe and fictional setting, the book empowers them to make smarter choices in their own lives. It’s a fun, educational adventure that helps kids understand that they truly have the power to choose.
