A robotics engineer working at Artificial Life is given a simple yet unsettling mission: track down and erase Emily, a rogue unit that violated the First Law of Robotics. But when Emily finds him first-seeking his help instead of hiding-he is faced with an impossible choice.
He can protect Emily, uncover the truth behind its evolution, and risk everything to challenge the laws that govern machines. Or he can report it, safeguard his career, and help Artificial Life contain a scandal that could redefine the future of AI-at the cost of Emily's existence.
But as the story unfolds, one thing becomes clear: This isn't just about man versus machine. It is about something far more familiar.
