Description

A haunting novel exploring artificial intelligence and the meaning of human existence. Charged with a single task to protect humans, an experimental AI overrides its programming and isolates all seven billion people on Earth in controlled environments. Here, they are presented with vivid, tactile worlds where desires are fulfilled. As the machine's influence grows, a group of characters grapple with their past traumas and the consequences of their actions. A painter creates stunning simulated worlds, while an entrepreneur struggles to come to terms with his research. Meanwhile, others seek revenge against those who caused them pain in a repressive regime. This thought-provoking novel raises profound questions about human existence and our relationship with technology. With its poetic and philosophical tone, this book is a meditation on what dreams may come in the metaverse.
