Even if not everyone read him, there's at least a copy of one of his books in the bookshelf of every library.
Ian O'Donnell is a global literary success and he lives a regular and well constructed life, but when the most advanced center of research in the world calls him, for a consultation on the creation of an artificial consciousness, he lets his morbid curiosity win.
That place, inaccessible for anyone who isn't part of the program, inexorably attracts him towards itself, with its secrets and its promises.
During the few days of his stay at the center, Ian explores the thinning boundaries between man and machine, between nature and technology, and even old wounds that he thought were forgotten. What exactly is he doing, there? Is what he's experiencing just a hallucination, or can that meeting really bring him to a new, vibrant vision of reality itself?
