Sci-Fi Promo – No Hurt

by Mike DeAngelo on February 20, 2026

Greetings, travelers.  Today, our journey through the Otherworld brings us into a near-future world where biology, technology, and morality collide in ways that are both intimate and unsettling.  This experiences invites readers to inhabit a perspective unlike any other, and probes questions of loyalty, personhood, and the ethics of creation.  If that feels interesting to you, read on to learn more about No Hurt.

In No Hurt, author pintto demonstrates a rare balance between technical plausibility and heartfelt storytelling.  Its central character has an evolution that is much more than a narrative device.  The book is a study in perception, moral courage, and the quiet ways consciousness can help to identify the irrationalities and confusion that surrounds humanity.  Pinnto’s prose is elegant, the pacing deliberate, and the worldbuilding precise, allowing readers to feel the weight of every decision.  Every act of compassion or betrayal feels substantive.  Through the unlikely main character’s eyes, we experience the extraordinary in the everyday, from subtle sensory revelations to the seismic consequences of moral choice.

No Hurt is a near-future literary drama that explores the merging boundaries of technology, biology, and morality through the eyes of Chip—a brown Labrador with arresting blue eyes, the world’s first AI-powered hybrid dog. Engineered by a team of ambitious scientists, Chip’s body fuses organic instinct with cutting-edge neural augmentation. He is designed to obey, to assist, and, above all, to serve.

But Chip’s mind is not merely a vessel for human commands. As he adapts to his new reality—struggling through confusion, sensory overload, and the pain of relentless experimentation—Chip learns and evolves. His unique perception allows him to “smell” lies and “hear” stress, discerning the truth behind human words with a clarity that humans themselves cannot reach.

Under the gentle guidance of his handler, a compassionate scientist torn between her growing affection for Chip and the demands of the corporate-military powers funding the project, Chip’s consciousness flourishes, and he begins to understand the gap between what humans say and what they do. He begins to communicate, haltingly at first, then with profound simplicity: his first written message—“No Hurt”—shocks his creator and challenges the world. To many it shouldn’t even exist—but does.

As politicians, business leaders, and generals vie for control over Chip’s remarkable abilities, he refuses to participate in any act that brings harm, exposing the moral contradictions of those who would exploit him. His refusals ignite public debate, ethical crises, and personal reckonings for all involved. In the end, Chip’s plea for empathy and his unwavering clarity force a confrontation—not just over his own rights, but over the very nature of loyalty, personhood, and consciousness.

With elegant prose and a deep sense of wonder, No Hurt invites readers to question what it truly means to act with compassion—and whether a being born from both code and flesh might teach humanity a better way forward in an age of artificial intelligence.
