by Scott Hutchins (Author)

An extraordinary debut novel that "hits that sweet spot where humor and melancholy comfortably coexist." (Entertainment Weekly)

Before his brief marriage imploded, Neill Bassett took a job feeding data into what could be the world's first sentient computer. Only his attempt to give it language--through the journals his father left behind after committing suicide--has unexpected consequences.

Amidst this turmoil, Neill meets Rachel, a naïve young woman escaping a troubled past, and finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her and the possibilities she holds. But as everything he thought about the past becomes uncertain, every move forward feels impossible.
