Metaphysical Science

Jack was in the middle of an ordinary life when time slipped for a moment and he found himself somewhere in his past. The time slip only lasted a few seconds, but he couldn’t let it go. As curiosity became obsession, Jack was swept up into a reality he never imagined. He was not who he thought he was, and no one around him was who they appeared to be either. Jack’s true life was being lived at a scale that his mind could not comprehend, where forces of good and evil, birth and death, were in a constant battle.

And what if that AI is housed in an anatomically correct and fully functional chassis? The final novella of the Andy series wraps up the storylines of the first seven episodes.

For the anatomically correct and fully functional models of the Andy line, birth begins with the click of a switch. Does it end that way, too, or is there something more to it?

Seems appropriate that a story cast in the visionary and metaphysical science fiction genre should deal with something deeper than puppy love. Hence Morte.
