About this audiobook
Benny works in a cubicle at Primal Corp, where an algorithm decides his wages and the bathroom has been replaced by a bucket. So he buys an illegal AI off the black market and names it Genius. Genius works. That's the problem. A dark comedy about automation, inequality, and giving a broken system exactly what it asked for.
