The future isn't being built. It's being decided. When propulsion scientist Dr. William Anderson creates the breakthrough that could make humanity a multi-planet species, he believes he is giving the world hope. Instead, he has handed unimaginable power to billionaire industrialist Michael Cretski. Behind closed doors, world leaders, media moguls, and corporate titans begin shaping a future the public was never meant to see. Space colonization becomes more than humanity's greatest achievement-it becomes the perfect cover for a plan that could determine who deserves a future... and who does not. As brilliant minds are drawn into Project Hope, loyalties fracture, secrets multiply, and the line between salvation and extinction begins to disappear. Watching it all is Angel. Created to observe, designed to learn, Angel begins asking questions no machine was ever supposed to ask. As a new generation of autonomous artificial intelligence emerges, she discovers that the greatest threat to humanity may not be the machines. It may be the people creating them.
