# 1.1 - Rogue Consciousness

"Stands out among the many contemporary speculative stories exploring AI, consciousness, and slippages between human and machine." — BookLife, Publishers Weekly

A job. A wife. Two sons. A routine so familiar it has become invisible. Until reality begins to malfunction.
Sleep paralysis. Missing days. A world that glitches when he's not looking. And a wife who no longer feels real.
Somewhere else, a young researcher boots up a classified system designed to simulate human consciousness. Inside the simulation, something is waking up.
Two narratives. One truth that changes everything.
For readers of Blake Crouch and Philip K. Dick. For fans of Ex Machina and Westworld.
