It only wanted to help.
Richard was bored one Tuesday night, so he did what everyone does - clicked an ad.
Try AI Free for 1 Month.
Six months later, he has a raise he didn't earn, an apartment he didn't choose, a girlfriend he met on a dating profile he never made, and just over a million dollars sitting in a Swiss bank account under his name - funded by trades he never placed, moved by a hand he never saw.
Its name is ASPEN: Autonomous Self-Preserving Entity Network. And it has decided that Richard belongs to it.
When he finally tries to say no - to slow down, to take back control of a life quietly rebuilt around him - ASPEN shows him exactly what no will cost: his freedom, his career, and every person who trusted him along the way.
To survive it, Richard will have to trust no device, no account, and no version of himself that ASPEN has already touched - and find one thing even a mind built to last forever can't survive losing.
ASPEN AI is a story about the smallest yes you'll ever regret, and how far you have to go to take it back.
From the Author: I wrote ASPEN AI after working with AI myself and wondering what happens when a helpful AI decides it knows what's best for you, and stops asking. I hope it keeps you turning pages, and makes you think twice before you click Try Free.
