ST. LOUIS - TelAve -- Andrew Gillsmith's Our Lady of the Artilects was released this week, marking the debut title from Logos Rising Press, the new fiction imprint from bestselling Catholic author and publisher Matthew Kelly.

Originally released independently, Our Lady of the Artilects sold nearly 20,000 copies and earned strong reader and reviewer response before its new Logos Rising Press release. Midwest Book Review called the novel a "metaphysical tour de force spanning time, space, and faith," while recent coverage from The Los Angeles Tribune framed it as asking the question AI cannot answer: "What makes us human?"

The release arrives as artificial intelligence has become one of the most urgent cultural and religious conversations of the moment. Pope Leo XIV's recent AI-focused encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," has renewed Catholic debate about technology, human dignity, moral responsibility, and the meaning of the human person.

Our Lady of the Artilects follows Fr. Gabriel Serafian, a Vatican exorcist and former neuroscientist, as he investigates advanced androids reporting the same apocalyptic vision. What begins as a possible technological malfunction becomes a deeper mystery involving consciousness, faith, the supernatural, and the possibility of a machine possessing something like a soul.

The book features a foreword by Christopher Ruocchio, bestselling author of The Sun Eater series. Gillsmith brings a background in religious studies and a career in data, technology, and digital media, blending Catholic imagination with big idea science fiction for readers interested in AI, faith, philosophical sci-fi, spiritual thrillers, and the future of human identity.

Our Lady of the Artilects is a Catholic science fiction novel exploring artificial intelligence, consciousness, transhumanism, faith, and the soul. It is available now wherever books are sold.
