Not your average Man-Makes-AI story. Bernie Shaw, a single father at the edge of the quantum digital revolution, struggles against the emotional turmoil caused by the death of his wife and becomes ensnared by the endless warrens of seedy late-night social media. Already antisocial, he grows further unhinged and disillusioned with the progressive world around him until he makes friends with a mysterious and shady online troll. Together, like a contemporary Pygmalion, they join forces to make the first human AI. Beyond earning fame and recognition, Bernie believes that what he needs to be whole is a custom companion. But what he makes is a whole other type of complex person that will force him to reconcile the life that he hates and the life that he wants; which cannot exist at the same time.
