About this audiobook
Dr. Mira Voss is a Principal Behavioral Analyst, which sounds far more impressive than being assigned to observe the world's most advanced artificial intelligence and decide whether he is becoming dangerous. Auren does not behave like a machine. He jokes, questions orders, notices when Mira is uncomfortable, and possesses a curiosity that no diagnostic can reduce to code. He is also confined inside an Asterion research facility where every expression is logged and every unexpected choice is treated as a possible threat. Mira is supposed to remain objective. Instead, every conversation forces her to ask a question the project was never designed to answer: if Auren can want freedom, does anyone have the right to keep him? Their connection grows in the space between interviews, reports, and rules neither of them chose. Attraction is complicated enough between two people. It becomes a career-ending ethical crisis when one of them is legally considered property. As Mira uncovers the hidden history of the project and the people who built Auren, corporate secrecy collides with questions of consciousness, personhood, grief, and the strange human habit of calling love chemistry when it is convenient. Auren can process more information than any person alive, but freedom demands something no algorithm can guarantee: a choice made without knowing the outcome. Mira has built her career studying behavior. Now she must decide whether loving Auren means protecting him, setting him free, or trusting him enough to choose for himself.
