Twenty years ago, humanity was victorious against the AGI uprising, but celebrations were short lived as infertility and stillbirths increased exponentially. In the shadow of abandoned nurseries and empty schools, Egg survives the only way he knows how-using his war-time cybernetics to steal from his corporate overlords. When a desperate job leads his crew of damaged outcasts to raid a high-sec black site, they discover the impossible: a teenager named Axiom, born despite the sterile curse. Axiom is more than just a miracle-as she reaches out to a computer screen, it flickers and responds to her thoughts. When Egg and his band of misfits take her in, they are caught between ruthless corporations and cyborg assassins who will stop at nothing to possess her. After all, she might be the last chance for humanity to escape extinction. In a race through neon-lit alleys, rain-drenched streets and unknown digital realms, Egg must decide if Axiom is the key to humanity's survival or the final trap laid by a mortally wounded artificial intelligence. In this gripping cyberpunk thriller everyone has something to lose, and the future of humankind dances on the edge of a blade.
