Project 404

Foster Baldington - twenty-three - is one of the world's most infamous computer scientists. His creations, however brilliant they may sound, fail more often than they succeed, leading to a terrible reputation in a futuristic world where the tech industry is thriving more than any other. But when an unnamed young woman, hospitalised for severe head injuries, is given up on by her doctors, he manages to save her with an impossible mechanical mind - the first of its kind to exist.

Yet, a half-computerised woman with an infinite database of knowledge is a perfect source of power, and Emorie van Hollow finds herself in a strange new reality where carrying the world's most advanced machinery makes her valuable, for artificial intelligence can be deadly.
