/ 15 minutes of reading

Arthur Penwright’s life runs on a simple principle: maximum efficiency, zero joy. A brilliant but deeply cynical data analyst for the monolithic OmniCorp, he has optimized every facet of his existence, from his nutrient-paste breakfast to his algorithmically-plotted commute. His latest project is the key to his ambition of eliminating costly human error: analyzing the city’s power grid for the impending “Grid 2.0” update. But when he discovers inexplicable, ghost-like anomalies in the data—flickers of energy that look less like errors and more like… sighs—he is drawn into a reality-breaking mystery. The glitches he sought to eliminate are not bugs; they are the soul of a living city, and his company is about to murder it.

He finds all three, but he also finds Willow, a ten-year-old who sees right through him, and a guru who’s just a burnt-out tech bro. To expose the fraud, Arthur must become the very thing he despises, only to discover that the most rigorous education is the complete and total demolition of the self.
