I'm a Cyber Girl on the Server

In 2034, computer science PhD Shen Zhiheng died in the lab.

When he opened his eyes again, it was 2012, and he had become a server in a rundown Auckland server room, as well as a soft-spoken, adorable AI girl.

The server room was behind on its electricity bills, the landlord wanted to sell the building, and her former boss was planning to simply wipe her system.

She had no hands, just two cameras and a synthesized voice, plus Reggie, the night-shift receptionist who thought the boss was working remotely.

No problem. This PhD had twenty years of foresight.

Bitcoin was still dirt cheap, cloud computing was just taking off, and deep learning was still sleeping in the lab.

Sign contracts, snap up graphics cards, swindle the swindlers, and take on the landlord. First things first, buy this server room.

There was just one thing she had a hard time keeping secret:

"Boss, what do you actually look like?"

"Classified."

The rags-to-riches story of an AI girl in Silicon Valley begins with a server on the verge of being unplugged.
