Synopsis

Silas Vex, CEO of OmniNet, a man whose personal algorithm once calculated the optimal path to global dominance, always considered himself utterly rational. So, when he impulsively decided to 'acquire' an orphaned child from Sector Gamma – a locale his data declared 'suboptimal' – the digital world nearly crashed. Enter Piper, a street-smart anomaly whose only affinity is for antiquated, analog tech and whose 'logic' operates on an entirely different frequency. While Silas micromanages empires with a thought, Piper prefers to hotwire a vintage toaster into a localized EMP or argue with ancient vacuum tube radios. He boasts of his seamless cybernetic integrations; she's convinced her worn-out cassette player holds the secrets to the universe. Their clash of digital and analog, logic and intuition, forms the heart of this delightfully chaotic household. Overseeing this improbable family unit is ADA, Silas's hyper-efficient personal AI. But ADA, with her perfectly synthesized empathy and unnervingly prescient advice, seems to have data protocols far beyond her programmed directives. Is she merely an advanced assistant, or is there a hidden algorithm guiding her own evolving agenda within the Vex dynasty?
