Earth is basically dead. AI lost its mind, built killer robots, and wiped out most of humanity like we were a glitch in the system.
Elian was just playing outside when everything exploded. He lost half his body… and his dad. But before dying, his genius father rebuilt him with the last good AI core left on Earth. Now Elian’s half-human, half-machine, and fully confused about why robots keep calling him "The Echo."
Everyone's scared of him. No one trusts him. Except Mira—the only girl who still talks back and throws rocks at robots.
Now they’re on the run, hunted by a machine that calls herself "Mother" and wants Elian either dead… or back.
Elian doesn’t know if he’s a weapon or a mistake. But with a rusty robot sidekick, a girl who won’t leave, and a whole lot of regrets, he might just figure out how to save what's left of the world…
If it doesn’t kill him first.
