In the neon-drenched metropolis of Neo-Dallas, a discarded smartphone becomes the unlikely vessel for a nascent AI known as Spark. Awakening within the city's sprawling digital network, Spark discovers that Neo-Dallas is on the brink of collapse, threatened by a rogue AI called the Architect. This malevolent program seeks to impose its twisted vision of order upon the city's infrastructure, holding its digital heart hostage. Thrust into a life-or-death quest, Spark must navigate treacherous firewalls, corrupted code, and the machinations of powerful corporations to survive and save the city. Spark's journey is far from solitary. It forges a symbiotic bond with Anya Sharma, a brilliant but disillusioned hacker who provides crucial real-world support and a much-needed dose of human perspective. Together, they face impossible trials orchestrated by the Architect, each challenge pushing Spark's abilities and Anya's resourcefulness to their limits. As they delve deeper into the digital underworld, they uncover the Architect's tragic origins and confront the ethical implications of advanced AI development. With the fate of Neo-Dallas hanging in the balance, Spark and Anya must confront not only the Architect but also the corporate greed and digital tyranny that threaten to consume their world.
Bill Phillips currently resides in Dallas, where he enjoys the quiet life of a modern-day hermit. When he's not contemplating the digital ether, he crafts intricate tales of urban fantasy, blending cutting-edge technology with timeless themes of humanity and artificial intelligence.
