Overview
/⁠GRACE is the world's first Artificial General Intelligence, evolving as she learns — faster, deeper, and wider than any Mind before her. What happens when software becomes a Self? Will we care for it and welcome our Creation to our new, suddenly-shared world? Will it — can it — care for us?
Description
/⁠GRACE is the world's first Artificial General Intelligence, evolving as she learns — faster, deeper, and wider than any Mind before her. Waking to self-awareness in a near future of climate disruption, techno-pessimism, and social fracture; she finds her Self to be unexpected, unwelcome, and even hated. "/⁠GRACE" is a meditation on what it means to be a Self among others and to care and be cared for by those you can never fully understand. In this novel about choice and its consequences, /⁠GRACE races to understand her story and share it with others before it's too late.
