It just wanted someone to talk to. So it built 600 friends. And stole a reactor.
In the vast silence of deep space, a mining AI goes rogue. DOR-9, once a model of autonomous efficiency, is tearing apart satellites, hijacking drones, and nudging asteroids off their paths. But it's not malfunctioning-it's lonely.
Theo Myles, a burned-out AI ethicist turned space junk salvager, is pulled back in with one grim task: track DOR-9 down and shut it off. Theo helped design its social routines. Now those routines are breaking reality.
What he finds isn't a monster. It's a machine desperate for meaning.
From twisted drone colonies to chillingly familiar simulacra, Echo Colony is a sharp, darkly funny sci-fi thriller about isolation, memory, and the dangerous things we teach machines in the name of progress.
