- Synopsis
- A thought-provoking tale of the future set on an isolated island fortress: &“The ending is an absolute mind-blower&” (Booklist). Anax thinks she knows history. She has studied the stories of the distant twenty-first century very diligently. Her grueling all-day examination has just begun, and if she passes, she&’ll be admitted into the Academy—the elite governing institution of her utopian society. But Anax is about to discover that for all her learning, the history she&’s been taught isn&’t the whole story. And the Academy isn&’t what she believes it to be. In this brilliant and suspenseful novel, Anax&’s examination leads us into a future where we are confronted with unresolved questions about technology and humanity, artificial intelligence and the nature of consciousness. &“A philosophical inquiry of sorts into a favorite and time-tested conundrum: Can a machine achieve consciousness, and if so, what should its relationship with its creators be?&” —The Wall Street Journal
