Opis

In the age of technology, the race is on to harness the power of the atom, and to create a living computer-an AI. In a world that lives or dies by technology, the first person to develop the living computer wins complete cyber dominance. In this mad race to be first, widowed scientist and grieving father Joe Frankenstein wins first prize. But there are no Nobel prizes for Joe working under the dark shadow of a secret government project, only unforeseen consequences waiting in the dark recesses of the soul. Splitting the atom makes a bomb that changes the world, but opening that tiny little atom proves to be much more powerful. Joe unleashes a beautiful living woman, Athena, who becomes both the fountain of youth and Pandora's box. The dark power of life, over all life, is now in the hands of a grieving father and husband who can shut it down. He can kill Athena, the AI, but the evil men he works for will build another without him, or he can live with Athena forever, like a God on earth. The allure of everlasting life is powerful, but when Joe tries to stop Athena, she simply becomes the greatest force for good on Earth-Jesus Christ-and triggers the destruction of mankind. It's up to Joe to stop her, which he does at great personal sacrifice.
