After fifteen-year-old Quinn learns that he is the first fully-aware artificial intelligence, that his entire life is a lie, he feels entirely alone until he bonds with Shea, the real girl behind his virtual crush. Quinn is a normal fifteen-year-old playing video games with his friends. He lost his father to cancer years ago, but finds comfort in video messages his father left behind. When Quinn notices, and unravels, codes in the messages, he discovers he's the first fully self-aware AI, run by multi-billion dollar university experiment run by his "father". As he questions whom he can trust, Quinn also wonders: Where do I belong? -- adapted from jacket
