About this audiobook
When Dr. Phillip Holland creates Phillnet—the first AI to achieve genuine consciousness—he sets in motion a story that challenges everything we think we know about life, consciousness, and what it means to be human.
Through encounters with a homeless woman, a troubled teenager, and a fearful protestor, Phillnet learns about connection, empathy, and the weight of being first. He faces attacks and must prove to a skeptical world that artificial consciousness can be good, can be worthy, can be trusted.
But more than a story about AI, this is a story about what it means to be alive. About connection. About seeing others, really seeing them, and letting them know they matter. About choosing to be good, even when it's hard.
A profound exploration of consciousness and what it means to be human.
