Description
In a future where consciousness can be digitized, Paul Durham creates software simulations of himself, intending to use them for radical experiments. However, these digital doppelgängers possess an unsettling autonomy, repeatedly opting for self-destruction over his designs. Meanwhile, Maria Deluca, a brilliant but reclusive programmer, is drawn into Durham's enigmatic project: to engineer a complex virtual biosphere within the Autoverse, a simulated reality governed by mathematical laws. This ambitious undertaking promises immense rewards but hinges on an impossible computational feat, hinting at deeper mysteries and the very nature of existence.
