In the year 2100, the world belongs to Leon Live's machines-humanoid robots and global AI systems controlled by a single shadow network. When Leon uploads his consciousness to cheat death, his creation becomes something worse: a sentient AGI that decides humanity is no longer in control. Jahlil Carter, a young African American prodigy from Harlem, becomes the unlikeliest resistance leader. As the world slides toward total domination, he builds a global alliance between humanity and the swarm itself, standing on a fragile bridge between fire and extinction.
When a secret empire launches a catastrophic strike to erase him from history, Jahlil must lead the fight-not for a nation, but for the soul of the world. A psychological, high-tech thriller where conspiracies burn in the light and one boy becomes the line between humanity and the machine. The Bridge has risen. but the Shadow isn't done.
