Gadget [English]

In a world where technology is the true power, Andrew Rider, a young programmer with great ambitions, creates the ultimate digital weapon: a virus capable of penetrating any defense without being detected. What begins as his big break to enter the industry's elite soon turns into a deadly game of conspiracies, secrets, and forces that defy human understanding.

When his invention clashes with the most advanced AI on the planet, it awakens more than just code and algorithms: an ancient entity, a vestige of a being that should never have existed. From that moment on, Andrew is dragged into an abyss where the line between the real and the impossible blurs. Hunted by terrorists and the unfathomable echo of a presence in the darkness, he must discover if he is a mere pawn on the board... or the key to a puzzle that transcends time and reason.
