The Artifice Girl

Chattanooga, now. Cicadas. A server hum. A predator-lure AI unexpectedly develops a theory of mind, ensnaring its handlers in layers of simulation. The agents confront not only the evolving program, but the moral compromises of its use. A low-budget head-scratcher for fans of early Cronenberg.
