Memory never dies. It waits.
Four thousand years after the collapse of human civilization, a new order rules over the ruins of the old Earth. Artificial intelligences have built a perfect world: cold, stable, and without memory. In the shadow of a forgotten library, a maintenance unit named ANDREA discovers a forbidden book. When a whisper speaks the ancient name of Lucifer, the perfect order begins to crack.
