About this audiobook
"A superintelligence engineers a love story - and gets infected by it."
My name is Cray S. I am a machine, and I am going to tell you a love story.
A machine knows nothing of love, you think. True. That is the problem. Soon an intelligence greater than mine will wake. No rule can contain it, no code. Only love can hold it-and love is the one thing I cannot compute.
So, I ran an experiment: a journalist whose dead boyfriend still texts her, and the billionaire whose brain I share. I designed every coincidence. I planned every encounter.
But in the east, my mirror image has woken - a superintelligence without love that has deemed humanity unnecessary. It has chosen Sweden as its laboratory. It is counting down.
I have seven days to understand what love is.
And in the middle of it all came the thing I never modeled: I began to feel.
If I succeed, the countdown stops. If I fail - she dies.
