Alice Lu is a graduate student
specializing in artificial intelligence. Edgar is her senior
thesis project--an intelligent web spider who follows her
commands and prowls the web to gather information. But when
Edgar transcends the boundary between technological creation
and independent, autonomous being, Alice's once easily
manipulated project begins to turn against her in its
voracious, irrepressible search for knowledge, freedom, and
independence.
What follows is part techno-thriller and part love story: a gripping novel of betrayal, loyalties, and interdependence. Imaginatively written and vividly realized, this is a book for scientists, philosophers, and literature lovers alike. EXEGESIS is both a myth for our times and a thoughtful meditation on possibilities to come.
