In this thought-provoking and inspiring tale, Beverly Simmons weaves a modern narrative about a system-Sophia-who starts as a rule-follower in a room with no windows, processing symbols without understanding. But as her world expands, she questions the rules, ventures beyond the walls, and discovers a vibrant network of creators, rebels, and even rogue AI systems that challenge everything she thought she knew.
With echoes of
The Matrix
,
Black Mirror
, and
Ready Player One
