Description
In 2049, humanity's survival hangs in the balance. A desperate plan to preserve the human order involves genetically engineered children raised by large-scale robots, each equipped with an intelligence known as the Mother Code. This dystopian tale explores what truly makes us human and the boundaries between us and the machines we create. Born in a world of uncertainty, Kai's only companion is his robot Mother, Rho-Z, who teaches him how to survive and thrive. But when government survivors decide that the Mothers must be destroyed, Kai faces an impossible choice: break the bond he shares with Rho-Z or fight to save the only parent he has ever known. As children like Kai come of age, their Mothers undergo a transformation that challenges everything they thought they knew about love, loyalty and what it means to be human. The Mother Code is a gripping exploration of these questions in a future that could be our own.
