What if the next remarkable discovery could be made by anyone, no matter their background or education? Whether solving everyday problems or exploring life's greatest mysteries, The Forever Unknown encourages you to consider new perspectives and possibilities no one has thought of before. You don't need a PhD to think differently. All you need is curiosity, imagination, and the courage to question everything.

The Forever Unknown noun phrase

Everything not yet known, understood, discovered, or even imagined. An endless frontier of mysteries and extraordinary possibilities, where every answer opens new doors to wonders waiting to be explored.

Come with me... As we journey, Into The Forever Unknown by Scott L. Mankoff.

Scott Mankoff began photographing the Dallas and Deep Ellum music and art scenes in 2007, capturing dynamic live performances, art exhibits, and community events. His documentation of the neighborhood's vibrant culture earned him a solo photographic show at the legendary Kettle Art Gallery in 2008. The exhibition featured 2,500 of his images covering the gallery walls and hanging from the ceiling, highlighting his deep roots in the North Texas creative community. Scott is also included in the Kettle Art Gallery book For The Love, shown below. He is currently working on his book The Forever Unknown.

While writing his book The Forever Unknown, Scott was thinking about artificial intelligence and he wanted to create a new AI monster. Algorithmortis was born. Scott began writing the book in July 2026 and this evil entity materialized on October 1, 2026.

Algorithmortis

Supervillain

The name Algorithmortis combines algorithm, a procedure for solving a problem, the Latin mortis meaning death, and the forensic term algor mortis, the post mortem cooling of a body. The result is a name combining computation, coldness, and death.

Before it kills, it says, "Your eyes will now be The Eyes of Algorithmortis." Then it gouges out the eyes of its victims.
