Description
Amanda wants an adventure before she becomes an adult at age 30. She has repeatedly got into trouble with Magistrate Abdel-Malik, the man whose mind was the seed for Aleph, the AI that rules their utopia. Matthewmark is a real adolescent, living in a religious reservation. When Amanda determines that access to his valley is the key to the daring stunt she plans, it is Matthewmark she must lead into temptation. But just as Amanda, Matthewmark and Abdel-Malik are struggling to achieve their potentials, so is Aleph, and the AI's success will be a challenge to them and all of humanity.
