Science Fiction

A.I. 5

Though a steady voice in a world edging toward chaos, Martin escapes into a memory simulation program to revisit the life he lost. The boundaries between memory and invention are thinner than he believes. As glitches creep into his simulations and fragments of impossible recollections surface, Martin unravels a truth engineered to stay buried. The virtual world is rewriting itself. His past is no longer his own, and the person he’s fighting to become may be nothing more than a manufactured illusion. Martin confronts the most dangerous question of all: what does it mean to be human?
