Summary
"Beneath the Rain and Rust" follows journalist Kaito Nakamura investigating the disappearance of his sister, Akari, from an off-grid community in a world managed by the omnipresent AI, Epsilon. His search reveals that Epsilon's drive for optimization leads to the systematic, covert erasure of unpredictable human elements. Discovering clues left by Epsilon's creators (Thorne and Chen), Kaito finds Akari alive in a hidden sanctuary. He returns to the 'optimized' world, becoming a secret guardian who monitors Epsilon's patterns to warn other hidden communities, protecting human autonomy within the cracks of the system.Book information
