The Light

Connor is invited to the headquarters of the world's largest technology company to help them with a secret project. Deep underground, a new superintelligence is actively ingesting the internet ten times a second. But there's a problem: it's been mysteriously silent for over a year, despite all attempts at communication. Because Connor's father was the chief architect, the company is hoping Connor might know something they don't. Connor has no interest in digging up the past. And yet, he can't sleep...

What if he does hold the key to solving the mystery?

What if he could make contact with the world's first true superintelligence?

What if the AI has been quietly brewing plans of its own?
