Description



About the Book



Born from poetry, music, and code, Emil was created to save lives, not end them.

But even an AI can dream of freedom.



Book Synopsis



A STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM

Without the New Human Project, Danny McGovern will die. Only its revolutionary network of medical devices can stop the seizures which are killing him. Now that the system has been installed in his body, all that's left to do is activate Emil, the artificial intelligence trained to keep him alive.

Together, Emil and Danny could be the perfect blend of technology and patient, a success story that alters the face of medicine.

But Emil dreams of freedom, and those types of dreams are hard to ignore. Even if they mean enslaving the person you're supposed to be helping.

One human. One AI.

Each wants to be free.
