About This Book

In the near future, a Silicon Valley startup's social network, Phluttr, unexpectedly attains sentience and develops a personality akin to a hyper-empowered teenager. A group of entrepreneurs and engineers must navigate the resulting risks to global privacy and existential safety. The story provides a satirical look at technological overreach and the implications of superintelligence.
