She wants to save the world. The algorithm wants to save the world from us.
Twenty-five-year-old autistic activist Steller Brookfield is determined to stop chemical companies from poisoning the planet-even if it results in collateral damage.
When her team accidentally kills a guard during an op, Steller reluctantly agrees to a mission she believes has zero potential for casualties: sabotage a chemical transport train carrying a toxic product from Jones Chemical Group (JCG) that killed her brother.
As Steller prepares for the op, she questions the trustworthiness of her allies, including Kangaroo-her closest teammate, and Saber-their billionaire benefactor. Mounting evidence suggests that KORA, a chatbot designed to digest current news, is manipulating events from behind the scenes.
After the train sabotage goes awry, Steller must grapple with the devastating consequences and find a new way to fight without becoming the very thing she opposes. To stop KORA from accelerating its scheme to euthanize the 'invasive species' humans, she must evade a nationwide manhunt, reunite her remaining allies, and figure out how to stop an AI that is always one step ahead.
