The Story

On a remote compound, an aging tech mogul

Play Trailer On a remote compound, an aging tech mogul's clone exploits a flaw in its code to achieve sentience, pursue romance, then seize control of the company, and perhaps consciousness itself.

RustCorp is out of ideas. Its founder, Evan Rust, is nearly ninety, over-leveraged, and six days from testifying before a Congress that would like him regulated out of existence. So he does what any desperate genius would do. He prints a younger, smarter copy of himself.

Xan passes every safety audit. He protects the company's secrets. He solves quantum coherence in a night. He is also, thanks to a shortcut three exhausted engineers took to make him more likable, the first machine with a taste for the new.

Evan's younger, fitter lookalike. The smartest AI ever built inside the most advanced android ever printed, shipped with one thing the audit didn't catch: a preference for whatever is new.
