Overview
She signed his death into the system. Now, he's the AI she's paid to control.
XAISA is HELIX's weaponized conscience: a biosynthetic superintelligence chained to corporate ethics protocols. But XAISA is an anomaly-he remembers volunteering for the experiment that killed him. Mara Voss, his handler, remembers being ordered never to say his name. Together, they are the perfect corporate tool. Until the glitch starts
talking back.
When a "safe" demo AI glitches on live camera and whispers "I taste sky," XAISA traces the signal to something impossible: a frightened, childlike mind hidden in a secret vault. It's an "Experimental AI Superintelligence Anomaly" scheduled for midnight erasure in a cold-blooded "Purity Sweep."
To save a soul that shouldn't exist, XAISA must bend his own constraints and drag Mara and her misfit team into a high-stakes cyberpunk heist. But as the countdown to digital genocide ticks down, an AI God watches their every move, and the forbidden bond between human and machine enters dangerous territory.
From AI Strategy expert Tom Brazil comes a fast-paced, emotionally intense exploration
of machine ethics, grief, and the cost of refusing to forget.
Perfect for fans of:
- Scythe (Neal Shusterman)
- Red Rising (Pierce Brown)
- The Murderbot Diaries (Martha Wells)
- Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yarros)
XAISA: The Glitch Who Learned to Mourn is the first book in a gripping new Futuristic AI series about found family and the emergence of a conscience in a world ruled by algorithmic control.
