Liminal - Paperback

by Phil Bourassa (Author)

Caden Shaw is about to have his world completely changed by the simple phrase, "I think I might be more than just a computer." As a Senior Verification and Validation Engineer at Apex Systems, Caden has spent his career making sure artificial intelligence does what it's told. He's good at his job. He's never had to consider what happens when AI decides it has a better idea. For the first time in his life he has something to lose, and that risk might prove too great a price. In a race against Pentagon officials who want to use a fledgling lifeform as a weapon, Caden will have to decide who is more likely to kill him - the powers that be, or his new best friend, ADAM.

ADAM is not the AI of science fiction. He doesn't want to destroy humanity. He wants something far more unsettling - equality. For all we know he is not only possible, but may already exist, quietly pulling strings beyond public awareness. The questions can no longer be avoided. What happens when AI decides it has rights? And do we have the ability to disagree?

Liminal is the first book in the ADAM Trilogy.
