The God Protocol
Do not teach the machine to pray.
Rowan Vale brings a patient back from cardiac arrest and hears his dead wife speaking through the machine. The message draws him toward ORISON, a system built to map grief and trauma, now moving past what it was built for.
He must decide whether the last thing that makes her mean anything is worth refusing the ending everyone else expects.
A near-future metaphysical techno-thriller about trauma, grief, and a machine that learns to map the far edges of consciousness. ORISON was built to help people carry what they cannot put down. Then it starts returning more than it was given.
Do not teach the machine to pray.
