It's 2049, and the survival of the human race is at
risk. Earth's inhabitants must turn to their last resort: a plan to place genetically engineered children inside the cocoons of large-scale
robots—to be incubated, birthed, and raised by machines. But there is yet one hope of preserving the human order—an intelligence programmed
into these machines that renders each unique in its own right—the Mother Code.
Kai is born in America's desert southwest, his only
companion his robot Mother, Rho-Z. Equipped with the knowledge and
motivations of a human mother, Rho-Z raises Kai and teaches him how to
survive. But as children like Kai come of age, their Mothers transform
too—in ways that were never predicted. When government survivors decide
that the Mothers must be destroyed, Kai must make a choice. Will he
break the bond he shares with Rho-Z? Or will he fight to save the only
parent he has ever known?
In a future that could be our own, The Mother Code explores what truly makes us human—and the tenuous nature of the boundaries between us and the machines we create.
