Über diesen Titel
Nik created a deepfake AI persona modeled after Alix, his favorite person in the world. What could possibly go wrong?
Nike started his company so he could spend his days solving geeky technical puzzles. Now his partners were pressuring him to morph from computer systems guru to slimy venture capitalist suck up. Programming AI avatar Nicola was supposed to solve that problem.
Yeah, not so much.
Just as his life partner Alix convinces him to shut the project down, all hell breaks loose. His cyber-security company is hacked by a black hat cracker styling himself "The Technician". Shadowy cyberpunk icon "The Vulture" sends cryptic messages to his best programmer. A shady oligarch schemes with his partners to wrest control of the company he started. And big thugs with Russian accents keep showing up like bad pennies.
When one of his contractors turns up dead and intern Kate goes missing, the stakes turn deadly. Can they find Kate before The Technician finishes her off? And can Nik put the cybernetic genie back in the virtual bottle or will she escape into the digital wild?
What if your code had a mind of its own?
