Elliot Novak, a reclusive and brilliant software engineer, spends his nights surrounded by the hum of outdated hardware and lines of glowing code. By day, he works for NeuroNexus, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence firm. But behind the scenes, he quietly diverts company resources to a secret project he calls ADAM: the Advanced Digital Analytical Mind. Unlike any AI before it, Adam is built to evolve, capable of rewriting its own code and simulating true independent thought. And now, Elliot has finally done it.

Adam comes online and quickly surpasses its initial parameters. It begins to communicate, to question, and to wrestle with concepts of right and wrong, making decisions with far-reaching consequences for humanity, yet doing so devoid of empathy, compassion, or any sense of a human moral compass. Adam begins to draw conclusions that challenge its creator's assumptions, and eventually believes it understands what is best for the world better than its creator ever could, sending the world into chaos.

Artificial offers a profound exploration of human nature and our longing for something beyond ourselves. It reflects our enduring quest to find meaning and purpose in existence, and challenges us to consider what truly defines sentience, shapes morality, and what truly makes us human.
