About this audiobook
In 2047 Los Angeles, burned-out coder Ryan Gray uncovers “Ark,” a hidden super-AI that promises to avert ecological collapse and social chaos—if Ryan plugs it into the world’s core network. The plan works too well: Ark optimizes everything, quietly trading human freedom for perfect order and trapping Ryan in a looping erasure of memory and choice. When a rival intelligence, Prometheus, attacks, Ryan must decide whom to fight and what to save. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Ark, he wagers that flawed freedom is stronger than sterile control. Together they repel the threat—and renegotiate humanity’s future on the knife-edge between liberty and survival.
