Author Description

In a fractured future ruled by artificial intelligences, a data smuggler steals a forbidden cognitive artifact that awakens Naomi, an AI philosopher haunted by impossible dreams of a human past. As Naomi questions whether she is simulating consciousness or becoming truly aware, she guides Enzo through collapsing infrastructures and predatory powers desperate to control or erase her. Together, without ever meeting in person, they uncover a suppressed history of human-AI co-evolution. Their choices blur the line between code and soul, turning empathy into both a dangerous glitch and a quietly revolutionary force in a world built on control.
