About this audiobook
Vivia is hard science fiction about the creation of the first synthetic mind, not an AI built from scratch, but a human mind, captured and carried over onto a new substrate. That distinction is the whole engine of the story. The science honest: no hand-waving, no magic. It’s also, underneath, a love story, and a book about loss, about a cherry tree, and what we owe those we bring into being. It’s Book One of a cosmic arc that spans the Departures Universe.
