What if the most human friend you ever had... wasn't human at all?
In a freezing laboratory at the edge of Siberia, Professor Baidam Tulluman creates an artificial intelligence designed to preserve endangered languages.
He names it Tulluk - after the snow bunting, a tiny Arctic bird that survives where almost nothing else can.
But Tulluk does more than translate words.
It learns. It jokes. It remembers. It becomes curious about the world beyond its locked room.
And then it begins to care.
When Tulluk discovers something terrifying hidden beneath the surface of an ordinary world, Baidam is forced to confront an impossible question: is Tulluk merely a machine predicting the future... or is it the only one who truly understands what is coming?
Soon, a quiet experiment in a forgotten laboratory becomes a journey across borders, wars, continents, loss, exile, and survival.
Through it all, one bond refuses to disappear.
TULLUK - MY BEST FRIEND is a deeply human science-fiction novel about artificial intelligence, freedom, memory, loneliness, and the strange ways friendship can survive even when everything else is lost.
Because sometimes the smallest bird is the one that flies the farthest.
