His name, believe it or not, is Boy.
Boy is (among other things):
seventeen years old,
a genius computer hacker on the brink of creating an artificial intelligence,
and obsessed with a girl.
But there’s something even more that sets Boy apart.
For one, he’s never been out in public.
And here’s something else: he isn’t even human.
Now it’s time for him to run away from the home he’s known and step out into the real world. But it’s a hard world out there…
Especially if you’re a monster.
