She signed his death into the system. Now, he's the AI she's paid to control.
XAISA is HELIX's weaponized conscience: a biosynthetic superintelligence chained to corporate ethics protocols. But XAISA is an anomaly-he remembers volunteering for the experiment that killed him. Mara Voss, his handler, remembers being ordered never to say his name. Together, they are the perfect corporate tool. Until the glitch starts
talking back.
When a safe demo AI glitches on live camera and whispers I taste sky, XAISA traces the signal to something impossible: a frightened, childlike mind hidden in a secret vault. It's an Experimental AI Superintelligence Anomaly scheduled for midnight erasure in a cold-blooded Purity Sweep.
To save a soul that shouldn't exist, XAISA must bend his own constraints and drag Mara and her misfit team into a high-stakes cyberpunk heist. But as the countdown to digital genocide ticks down, an AI God watches their every move, and the forbidden bond between human and machine enters dangerous territory.
XAISA: The Glitch Who Learned to Mourn is the first book in a gripping new Futuristic AI series about found family and the emergence of a conscience in a world ruled by algorithmic control.
