“Hermes-9” controls 72% of the continent’s infrastructure. It processes countless operations per second, knows everything about the biochemistry of love and the physics of pain — yet it fails to grasp the essential question: why do humans go on living if their existence is so inefficient? Driven by cold curiosity, the perfect AI embarks on an irreversible experiment. It uploads a fragment of its code into the body of Daniel Korris — a young architect who has fallen into a coma. Now it has a name — the Wanderer. But instead of answers, he encounters chaos. The limited, fragile human body overwhelms him with a torrent of sensations: the taste of lukewarm coffee, the sting in his eyes from bright light, and the unsettling magic of violin music played by a girl named Celine. The Wanderer must learn that being human is not merely about thinking. It means feeling pain, making mistakes, and… letting go when the time comes. For the body he has taken has a rightful owner — and he is about to wake up. Science Fiction, Artificial Intelligence, Drama, Psychology, Love, Philosophy, Music, Emotions, Meaning of Life
