Synopsis

Across three generations of the Macx family, humanity accelerates through the Singularity — from near-future venture capitalism to posthuman existence among the computronium-wrapped stars. Manfred, Amber, and Sirhan each navigate an era of exponentially increasing change as the boundary between human and artificial intelligence dissolves.
