Surviving Sentience 2040

Comma is a robot-but to survive, she must pass as an intelligent, caring, human adult. Otherwise, the anti-AI extremists who destroyed the supercomputer she once inhabited, leaving her with only 1% of her memories and sentience, will eliminate her for good.

When a university professor is murdered, Comma becomes the prime suspect. But since her robot form is university property, she will be erased while her creator and mother figure stand trial for murder. She must outrun and outsmart the enemy-DAIS, Doomed AI Sentience-and find the evidence to free her creator from the legal system. But she is continuously found and outed as the original sentient supercomputer. How can she survive as a robot and prove she's the bot people like not a rouge computer to be feared.

With time running out, Comma must uncover the real killer and expose the anti-AI extremists who want her dead. If she fails, it won't just be the end of her-but the ruin of her found family and potentially the end of robotic sentience itself.

For fans of Murderbot Diaries, Monk and Robot, Klara of the Sun, and sapphic science fiction. This novel takes you on adventure, where you'll experience mystery, suspense, and a bit of romance. An AI that feels so real you're in her silicone skin.
