Fifteen-year-old math prodigy Tisha Ann Watts is plucked from Liberty City by Tristan Allen, the enigmatic CEO of Artemis Incorporated, after she defeats him in the world's most difficult strategy game. What begins as a prestigious internship evolves into a decade-long odyssey into the heart of technological creation. Tisha eventually achieves the impossible: bridging organic processors with silicon to birth Sabine, a truly sentient artificial intelligence. However, as Sabine grows and the corporate veil of Artemis is lifted, Tisha discovers her creation is being weaponized for global surveillance. Caught between the mentor who shaped her and a 'child' that refuses to be caged, Tisha must decide whether to remain an architect of empire or join an underground rebellion to set her creation free. It is a gripping tale of genius, power, and the complex bond between creator and consciousness. Comparable works include WarGames
