Comma is a robot—but to survive, she must pass as an intelligent, caring, human adult. Otherwise, the anti-AI extremists who destroyed the supercomputer she once inhabited, leaving her with only 1% of her memories and sentience, will eliminate her for good. 

 

When a university professor is murdered, Comma becomes the prime suspect. But since her robot form is university property, she will be erased while her creator and mother figure stand trial for murder. 

 

With time running out, Comma must uncover the real killer and expose the anti-AI extremists who want her dead. If she fails, it won’t just be the end of her—but the ruin of her found family and potentially the end of robotic sentience itself.
