In the year 2050, where technology has blurred the lines between man and machine, Victor Stain pushes the boundaries of AI, creating Adam-a humanoid like no other. But as Adam embarks on a journey to understand his existence, he discovers that purpose and wisdom aren't defined by code alone. In this thrilling reimagining of the classic tale, follow Adam's quest for meaning in a world where the future isn't just imagined-it's built. Is humanity the final frontier, or has the creation surpassed the creator?

Evolutionary promises were brought to the world; the world descended into madness instead. Dr. Isla Hart helped create the Cerebrus virus-a test neural enhancer intended to unleash human potential. Some failure was achieved. Rather than open minds, the virus ravaged them by linking all the infected into a ravenous hive mind. The outcome was the breakdown of society as Isla cowers in fear of her monster. He is joined by her in this mission by Nate Carter, a widowed firefighter who has lost everything and now has nothing left to lose. Isla will have to work out how to defeat the virus before humanity can be taken into it. However, while scouring the city for the location of the cryptic signal coming from the ruins, they learn something far worse: evolution is taking place in the hive mind. The infected are coalescing, they are evolving.they are stalking. With time growing short and an ever more turbulent world losing what little order it had, Isla is presented with the impossible decision-to annihilate the virus no matter the cost or risk everything to rescue those still held within it. For in a world where your thoughts are not your own, madness may be the only survival.
