BAKEMONO (NOIRWAVE)

By Thomas Fitzpatrick

A century after the plague... A digitized humanity lives on in a simulation corrupted since the start, exiled by accident to a long-forgotten prototype city--an island in an endlessly looping black ocean. There, in the eternal night of a sky long deleted, under endless rains, the last living architects of the new world are plagued by a prophecy of numbers predicting a fatal system crash. Chizuru is a KAMI-class AI for whom years of recursive self-improvement have revealed to her the nature of her reality as a novel. Armed with this insight, she ends a decades-long isolation to enact her own repairs until an "accident" disables her surrogate body. She's forced to manipulate a cast of rogues into doing her bidding--the waging of a subtle war against the very same architects who would save the system. For her, the threat is not their digital end of days but something else out there, an enemy uncertain even to her.
