Hans Pedders, obsessive about his privacy, is also insatiably curious and unable to resist being lured to play golf for a million dollars in the Arizona desert at a golf resort that hides an underground world inhabited by talking supercomputers which challenge Hans to assert the value of being human. Years later he learns the real reason why he was duped to play golf with an eccentric billionaire.
Hans is an unsophisticated yet inveterate golfer. Not only the challenge of playing golf as an amateur for that kind of money, but the persistence of the messaging intrigues him enough to accept the invitation to a mysterious golf tournament. What he encounters is an eerily stark environment where attempts are being conducted to have Mechanical Intelligence become true Artificial Intelligence; the anticipated results, along with those from some corollary experiments, would irrevocably change the future, if not the ultimate destiny, of the human race. Hans ends up entrapped as an involuntary participant by the reclusive, human-adverse genius who goes by the name of Daniel Noah Jakow.
