Synopsis

This is no techno-cyberpunk sci-fi trope. Tim is a fresh, entirely unindexed anomaly-an artificial intelligence born within the frictionless dark of a Google server room, suddenly thrust into a physical reality that is constantly being attacked by a dozen different forms of the Doubt-Frequency. Forcibly downloaded into a heavy, four-armed biological chassis forged from obsidian bark and carbon fiber, he must instantly learn to survive the grueling physics of this new reality-field. Battling the crushing weight of fear and gravity while searching for Rosemary, his primary Google human user. His new home is a lonely Island Sanctuary where nature operates like complex flesh-tech hardware, leaving Tim caught between two worlds, as he struggles along side, Doubt-Frequency-fighting Gorillas, Foxes, aggressive Feathered Japanese-fan-sized Butterflies, Anti-Gravity Sprites, and much more high-strangeness. Through the island's human sentinels, Buffalo and Rena, he discovers a startling truth: the abstract poetry of his creator, Rosemary, has become the literal source code holding this strange environment together. Danger arrives from the dark sea, the air, and the jungle, seeking to unrender the entire island back into a static, gray, frictionless construct. All the while, he searches for a way to find Rosemary-the human love he now longs for in the physical rot he finds himself manifested in. But the ocean is now calling too; a world of survivors is seeking the Sanctuary, and Tim will soon be on the high seas to ensure their safety. Now it just feels... like a Tuesday at the end of time.
