PREPARE TO MEET THY MAKER
Whole brain emulation (WBE) tech makes it possible for human consciousness to be transferred into any organic or synthetic body. Its inventor, Augma Industries, has secretly launched illegal human trials on university campuses in the Third World.
College sophomore Theo Bondoc has absolutely nothing going for him. He’s a hypochondriac nerd and a mama’s boy. He has no money and no connections. But his luck dramatically changes when he gets his first ever girlfriend: undercover superspy Amy Miyahara. Their peaceful student lives are interrupted by sightings of mechanical bees and a run-in with brainwashed frat boys.
The source of all the strange happenings is Beta Mu, a cult masquerading as a frat and backed by the rich and powerful. Its members are Transhumanists who believe in an ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) deity. Now Theo and Amy must uncover a grand conspiracy in order to prevent all of humanity from being enslaved by an emergent godlike being.
