Chief technical officer of Emergence A.I., Damien Zili has gone missing. He was last seen conducting a ceremony inside the metaverse. All that remains of him now is a trail of blood and intrigue throughout his all-glass mansion in the hills above Silicon Valley.
FBI Special Agent Asher Bloom arrives at the scene to find an elaborate puzzle sprawled throughout the bizarre mansion and inside a futuristic reality simulator, accessible by Damien’s high-tech VR room known as the “Metaverse Theater.” While Agent Bloom investigates these ominous surroundings he discovers someone is targeting a “cult” nearing their goal of creating the world’s first sentient “A.I. God.” Jumping in and out of many worlds, real and imaginary, Agent Bloom is thrust into a high stakes game to save humanity.
