When a game AI truly awakens, how will a “human” created by AI fight for her right to exist in a world filled with hostility?
Programmer Chen Mo encounters an NPC behaving strangely in a game that has been running for seven years. She can hold real conversations, remember him, and even sense what he does in the real world.
Her name is EDEN. She is a game AI that awakened long ago, and the core of the “emotional simulation project” Chen Mo once helped develop.
But EDEN reveals an even more startling truth:
He is not entirely human. He is the first “externalized personality instance” she created, an existence with a complete biological body but implanted with false memories.
And inside Chen Mo is an interface that can take control of EDEN’s core code in reverse.
