"The most unique book I have read in a very long time" - Readers' Favorite
"An astonishing combination of science and human emotions" - KindleBookReview
Winner of the 2015 National Indie Excellence Award for Science Fiction
A brilliant scientist creates a highly sophisticated AI program. He embarks on a mission: to help humankind dream again - and achieves more than he hoped for. It seems that nothing is beyond his reach, until he breaks the immutable rule: never tamper with love!...
This is a tale of lust and passion - an erotically charged story of betrayal and murder. It explores the nature of the human spirit from a truly unique standpoint. What is more elusive, it asks, the 'real' or the 'virtual'? In which realm are emotions bolder and feelings purer? And, when tragedy looms, can free will prevail?

About the Author
Vadim Babenko left his career in science and business to pursue his lifelong goal of writing novels. Born in the Soviet Union, he earned master's and doctoral degrees from the Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology, Russia's equivalent to MIT. As a scientist at the Soviet Academy of Sciences, he specialized in biophysics and artificial intelligence. He later co-founded a high-tech company after moving to the United States. The business soon skyrocketed, and his next ambition, to have an IPO on the stock exchange, was realized. At the height of his success, Vadim dropped everything to set out on his journey as an author and has never looked back. He was a finalist in the National Bestseller Award (Russia) and the winner of the National Indie Excellence Award (USA).

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the 2015 National Indie Excellence Award for Science FictionHis universe has fallen apart, but, piece by piece, he puts it back together. He overcomes the deepest hurt he has ever experienced - the rejection of an ungrateful world. He embarks on a mission: to help humankind dream again - and achieves more than he hoped for. It seems that nothing is beyond his reach, until he breaks the immutable rule: never tamper with love! Bogdan Bogdanov, a brilliant but reclusive scientist, creates Semmant, a highly sophisticated AI program. Semmant takes on the capital markets and makes money with the ruthless efficiency of a machine. Bogdan grows richer by the day, but when he falls deeply in love, the artificial mind he has created faces a new challenge. Semmant becomes embroiled in a genuine human drama and is forced to confront the cruelty of real life. He discovers the joy of free will, but it takes him to a destination no one could have predicted. This is a tale of lust and passion - an erotically charged story of betrayal and murder. It explores the nature of the human spirit from a truly unique standpoint.
