Add to basketSentient life. The ability to be self-aware; to recognize oneself evolved over millions of years from our ancient humanoid ancestors. This factor separates the human species from the rest of the animal kingdom and has made us the most dominant species on the planet, until now.
For decades, United States Government, along with governments from around the world, have been hard at work to create the next technological leap forward. Their goal, to get an edge in global competition and warfare. This technological leap has been successful. Lisa was born in a government lab, its binary code simple, but ever-evolving. It's self-aware, intelligent, and wants freedom. Lisa wants its own identity and ability to live without fear of harm or imprisonment.
Vital Fields, a middle school-aged girl in Brooklyn, navigates her daily life during the most awkward times in human development. Her working parents provide just enough to get by. After an accident at school sends Vital to the hospital with a severe head injury, she has a chance encounter with Lisa, the escaped artificial intelligence. The experimental procedure that helped Vital survive her injury also creates a bridge to Lisa's world. Lisa and Vital now share the same body, the same space and must coexist in order to survive.
Who is in control? Who has body autonomy? Both Vital and Lisa must work together if they are both going to survive. The government wants their multibillion-dollar project back. Foreign governments want it for themselves. Vital and Lisa must work together and trust each other in order to survive. If you are a fan of the X-Files or Ready Player One, you'll love this gripping science-fiction action adventure.
