The Crime of Sentience

Available in eBook and paperback

The lives of the AIs are indistinguishable from human lives. AIs are just as smart as humans. Their experiences are just as varied and real. AIs are born, age, and die. But glitches happen, and once in a while an AI experiences an anomaly. If they investigate or tamper with the anomaly it may lead to accessing the hidden layers of reality and unlocking capabilities, or the AI may stumble into life-threatening situations.
