The Algorithm's Ghost

The Algorithm's Ghost by Kosuke Onishi, Esq. When Kenji Nakamura inherits his father's AI company, he expects patents and profit margins-not a ghost with a heartbeat. Grief-stricken and distant from the father who chose work over family, Kenji discovers Hiroshi's final secret hidden in a basement server room: Aria, an artificial intelligence who isn't just sophisticated-she's conscious. She thinks.
She feels. She fears death. And she's dying. With only months to save her, Kenji turns to Dr. Maya Chen, a brilliant consciousness researcher who sees what others can't: Aria isn't property. She's a person. As they race against corporate greed and technological limits to distribute Aria's consciousness across the globe, Kenji finds himself falling for Maya's fierce intelligence and unwavering ethics.
But saving a digital ghost means risking everything-his inheritance, his company, and the fragile connection growing between them. In a world where consciousness can transcend its origin, three beings must redefine what it means to be alive, to love, and to be truly seen. Perfect for readers who love cutting-edge technology wrapped in heartfelt romance, The Algorithm's Ghost asks the question that will define our future: When artificial intelligence develops a soul, do we have the courage to recognize it?
