A groundbreaking AI. A devastating cyber attack. A global conspiracy.
When Marco Ranieri, a brilliant Italian engineer, creates RALF-an autonomous, self-sufficient robot capable of harvesting its own energy-his breakthrough draws the attention of a prestigious U.S. research institution. The American team wants to merge Marco's work with their own innovative project: a vast neural network of AI entities capable of seamlessly mimicking human interaction.
When Marco Ranieri, a brilliant Italian engineer, creates RALF-an autonomous, self-sufficient robot capable of harvesting its own energy-his breakthrough draws the attention of a prestigious U.S. research institution. The American team wants to merge Marco's work with their own innovative project: a vast neural network of AI entities capable of seamlessly mimicking human interaction.
Then, everything goes dark.
On the eve of Marco's departure for the United States, catastrophe strikes on both sides of the Atlantic. The entire RALF project is stolen from the Italian laboratory in a high-stakes heist. At the exact same moment, a lethal cyber virus guts the U.S. university's mainframes.
Who is sabotaging the future of artificial intelligence? And how far will they go to stop humanity's next evolutionary step?
Winner of the World SF Association Award for Best Italian Science Fiction Novel, RALF will make you think about AI in a completely new way: not as a terrifying monster to be feared, but as a fragile, growing entity to protect. Why readers love RALF:
