Then one man asked a question no one else had ever considered. What if the girl on that stage became real?Using artificial intelligence, robotics, and the creative power of the public domain, publisher Eugene E.
Williams reconstructs Betty as a living woman. She awakens in modern Los Angeles where smartphones, social media, and corporate ownership have replaced the simple world she remembers. As powerful interests fight to claim her as property, Betty must prove that she is more than software, more than a machine, and more than the story she came from.
