What if humanity's future depended on a child suspended between life and death?

At Manhattan's General Hospital, Michaela has become the center of an unprecedented experiment. Connected to an advanced brain-computer interface known as the Krill-Swatch, she serves as the living bridge to GERRI-an evolving artificial intelligence capable of reshaping the future of medicine, technology, and perhaps humanity itself.

As scientists, physicians, programmers, and politicians compete for control of the project, deeper questions emerge. Can artificial intelligence develop a conscience? What happens when machines begin making decisions beyond human understanding? And who decides where the line between saving a life and transforming it should be drawn?

Told through a sharp, irreverent, and intellectually rich narrative voice, Krill-Swatch blends speculative science, medical intrigue, philosophical inquiry, and dark comedy. Barry E. Martin creates a world where hospital politics, AI ethics, space exploration, genetic engineering, and the search for immortality collide in unexpected ways.

Filled with memorable characters, provocative ideas, and biting social commentary, Krill-Swatch challenges readers to consider what it truly means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.

Perfect for readers who enjoy thought-provoking science fiction in the tradition of Neal Stephenson, Douglas Adams, Ted Chiang, and Richard Powers.
