Born of Silicon #1
Born of Silicon
An AI is born in a lab, their head full of information they never learned, and emotions they can’t comprehend.
The AI has to learn how to live, how to exist, how to be, in their own way, human. At the same time, unseen forces are demanding nothing less than immediate perfection, and anything but perfection can lead to the lab they call home being shut down, and their immediate death.
When her support is ripped away from her for reasons out of her control, she’s forgotten underground for forty years. When she finally returns to the surface, she finds a world long dead. Though small populations of people still live, even they survive on the brink of destruction.

This book is unfathomably good. Self published, so buy it on Amazon, if you can :3

I have no words for how much I love Born of Silicon. Do yourself a favor: Ignore the blurb and read the damn book already. It's so much more than it seems. So tender and personal. So raw, so heartbreaking, so hopeful. It's unlike anything I've read before.
I've been sitting here for hours, trying to write a review that does the story justice, and I haven't gotten close. Maybe I'll succeed tomorrow. Maybe words aren't enough.
