The predicted singularity is delayed. Again. CEO Morton Kess has optimized himself past dying. And living.
The pilot of one of his company's freighters is lost in space. In order to survive she must rely on the last thing she trusts: the ship's Autopilot A.I.
Both living to die—until a Child appears to show them consciousness doesn't end when you try to erase it.
