Mango (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798317054854)

This is a bold, ambitious sci-fi tale with a beating heart. Mango's evolution from a human teenager to an artificial intelligence is both harrowing and inspiring, wrapped in a world that feels eerily plausible given today's tech trajectory. The emotional struggle of humanity elevate the story, planting seeds that bloom into a satisfying, otherworldly climax. It's a love letter to resilience, a critique of unchecked tech, and a meditation on what "renewal" means when flesh fails. Mango, a spirited Golden, lives in the Ivory Tower, a sanctuary for the last remnants of humanity, untouched by the genetic mutations that plague the world outside. Her connection with Tim, a Silver, blossoms amidst their training sessions, challenging the tower's strict rules against inter-species relationships. As Mango grapples with her feelings for Tim and the societal expectations placed upon her, she uncovers disturbing truths about the Golden's existence and the tower's secrets.
