Synopsis:
Audible narration by Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel)
A video game developer becomes obsessed with a willful character in her new project, in a mind-bending exploration of what it means to be human by the New York Times bestselling author of Recursion.
Maxine was made to do one thing: die. Except the minor non-player character in the world Riley is building makes her own impossible decision—veering wildly off course and exploring the boundaries of the map. When the curious Riley extracts her code for closer examination, an emotional relationship develops between them. Soon Riley has all new plans for her spontaneous AI, including bringing Max into the real world. But what if Max has real-world plans of her own?
Blake Crouch’s Summer Frost is part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.

Set some time in the future Summer Frost explores artificial intelligence and what it means to be human. Following Riley’s interactions and growing relationship with Max, a character gone rogue in the video game she helps develop, Summer Frost is a haunting tale of blurred lines and what technology can or may do if left untethered. The lines between humanity and machine blur in this novella that explores the human experience from both internal and external views
