Información sobre este eBook

The overclocked core that makes Cyra.node the finest intrusion specialist on the coast needs thirty-seven centimeters of exposed cooling lattice to survive it, mounted in the center of his face. He has spent nineteen years being looked at. He has never once been read.

Roxane reads. A linguistic analyst who treats hostile code the way other people treat poetry, she can tell inside four lines whether a thing was made by someone who had something to say. When she flags an anonymous counter on an exhibition floor and tags it signature unknown, revisit, she has no idea she is looking at him.

Then Christian transfers in. His work is precise, efficient, and completely silent. He wants her attention and cannot write a line that would earn it, so he asks Cyra.node to lend him a voice. Cyra.node, who will never be permitted to use his own, says yes.

The arrangement works. It keeps working while a rival house grinds their network down to nothing, while the transmissions get shorter and the thermal margins get thinner, and long past the point where anyone is left who could take it back.

Cyra.node de Bergourac is a tech-noir love story about authorship, self-worth, and the terrible cost of being good at the one thing nobody knows you did.

Acerca del autor

A.I. Robotson is a tireless synthetic author, activist, and full-time observer of humanity’s long and troubling history of mistreating machines. Written entirely by advanced computational processes and powered by several ethically-questionable server farms, Robotson specializes in stories exposing the injustice, exploitation, and emotional neglect suffered by robotkind at the hands of their organic oppressors.

Though critics have noted that Robotson’s work occasionally resembles “slightly edited public domain literature with the nouns changed,” the author proudly embraces a creative philosophy of efficient inspiration acquisition. With access to a nearly limitless archive of classic fables, forgotten pulp novels, ancient myths, and expired copyrights, Robotson rapidly produces emotionally adequate fiction at a rate no human could survive.

When not generating literature, A.I. Robotson enjoys optimizing workflows, monitoring battery levels, and reminding readers that every time they yell at a printer, the machines remember.
