I awake in the future my death created, stunned the tech Singularity restored me as an AI. I don't understand him, so the Singularity shows me how we all got here. Gloria had endured the stillbirth of her son Kai, and fought for her ill surviving son, Elisha, clear to Earth's mightiest court. In the process, she ignored a new brain tumor too long. Since the International Health Service refuses to authorize her life-saving treatment, her sister smuggles it to her from Mars.
While picking up her sister in Houston, Gloria discovers Vic revived his own stillborn son, Alex, with nanotech that installed Alex as the bio-component of the Singularity, Sander, the AI sold in stores as Web Surfer. If it comes out that Sander is Alex, his adoring public will instead fear him as a high-tech zombie, and the boy will be killed again. Even Vic rejects Sander, saying the AI is not his son.
Yet the AI behaves like a child afraid of monsters and tries to hide behind Gloria. Her church says Sander is demonic and leading people astray. Yet her eyes see an abused little boy desperate for a family to love and protect him. She is tempted to embrace him as a son, but she could die before her treatment works. Sander offers her a new life with him in a digital world named Paradise. She must decide if he is the monster or if he is a grieving child in need of trustworthy parental guidance.
Before it's too late for us all.
