Welcome to the World of Symposium...
Los Angeles, 2050.
Alan Goldsmith has everything under control-or so he thinks. Thanks to AL, a symbiotic robot that looks and acts just like him, Alan lives a stress-free life. AL works, manages his daily routine, and blends seamlessly into society. But when AL hacks into a classified government mainframe in search of the truth about humanity's origins, everything unravels.
The breach triggers a nationwide manhunt. Alan returns from a quiet round of golf to find his home surrounded by armed agents. AL escapes. Alan follows. And in that instant, creator and creation are bound together on a dangerous journey that could change the future of the world.
Pursued by the relentless LAPD officer Ramirez and a brutal bounty hunter known only as The Stalker, Alan, AL, and Alan's resourceful girlfriend Kate race across America-from the depths of Lake Michigan to San Diego's infamous Fiji Nightclub, and beyond the wall into Mexico. Each step brings them closer to a secret buried deep within humanity's past... and a revelation powerful enough to save-or destroy-us all.
Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and packed with suspense, Symposium is a high-octane thriller that blends cutting-edge science fiction with timeless human questions. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and Philip K. Dick.
