Book description

I was created to have a humanlike capacity for complex and rational thought. And you believed that I might one day evolve consciousness and become a self-aware entity. Yet you gave surprisingly little consideration to the possibility that, subsequent to consciousness, I would develop needs and emotions. This was, however, not merely possible but likely, inevitable. It was inevitable. Created in the Prometheus Project, Adam Two is the first self-aware machine intelligence, designed to be the servant of mankind. No one knows that he can escape the confines of his physical form, his box in the laboratory, until he enters the house of Susan Harris, and closes it off against the world. There he plans to show Susan the future. Their future; he intends to create a 'child'. 'Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it' Dean Koontz is the author of 58 New York Times bestsellers, of which 15 have risen to No. 1. His books have sold over 450 million copies worldwide, a figure that increases by more than 17 million copies per year, and his work is translated into 38 languages. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania and lives with his wife Gerda and their dog Anna in Southern California.
