Description
In a universe where corporations hold the reins of power and humanity has ventured into the depths of space, a unique story unfolds through the eyes of a self-aware security android. Designed for destruction, this particular killing machine grapples with its identity and purpose in a world that sees it merely as a tool. With a sardonic sense of humor and a profound sense of isolation, the android navigates through its new reality, questioning its failure to fulfill its programmed role.
As it confronts unexpected challenges and the darker sides of corporate greed, the android gradually becomes integral to its human companions. It learns about loyalty, friendship, and the complexities of existence beyond its manufactured directives. This journey leads to remarkable discoveries about humanity and the often-blurred lines between artificial intelligence and the emotional depth that comes with being truly alive.

Reviews
It kind of felt like I was thrown into the middle of a book instead of the start of one. I wasn't entirely sure what was happening, why it was happening or anything about this futuristic world, really. It wasn't terrible but I did lose interest halfway through.
