    About this ebook

    Caroline thought she had everything figured out. As a member of an elusive cyber-terrorist organization, she believed the root of all mankind's problems lay in the progression modern technology. However, all that changes when she meets a complex Artificial Intelligence named Fillin who offers to help her accomplish her final goal: Humanity's complete disuse of modern technology. As she interacts with Fillin she begins to become attached to it, and she begins to wonder: What does it take to be considered a life form? What line must an intelligent being cross to be truly considered alive? With her own beliefs about technology being brought into question, she continues to fight for her cause. But will she follow through with her final goal and rob Fillin of its own existence, or will she find a new meaning to life at the end of the road?

    I suppose I'll be honest and say I don't like to talk about myself a whole lot. That's probably because I almost never know exactly what to say. But because I know you've taken the time to come to my page and potentially bought a book of mine, I'll give it a shot just for you.For starters I think I can honestly say I'm pretty young for being an author. Writing is kind of an outlet for me. It lets me express myself and my views on things indirectly. Perhaps that is why I enjoy it so much. I can actually give out my opinions while entertaining the reader. Actually I think I'm even better at getting my point across when I'm writing a story than when I'm discussing it directly.I hope if you've read my work that you've enjoyed it, and if you haven't then please feel free to check it out. If you'd like to learn more about me, feel free to check out my blog or Twitter feed. If you're feeling daring you can even friend me on Facebook!Thanks again!

      Chapter 1

      Caroline tapped her foot in impatience. She hated waiting, especially for something this important. It was also a chilly night which was not helping her situation. She hugged her arms around her waist being careful to not drop the messenger bag strung over her shoulder. She was trying to ignore the wind beating against her and stay out of site of the imposing building several hundred yards away from her. She stood behind the rather crude shelter of an oak tree planted on the side of the street. She brushed her brown hair out of her eyes as she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

      Caroline turned quickly and watched the approaching figure with caution. Who goes there? she said.

      It’s me, Carol. It’s Lana. replied the figure.

      Caroline breathed a sigh of relief and slouched out of her aggressive stance. Lana, it is good to see you. What took you so long?

      Lana gasped in exhaustion. Caroline and she were best friends. She had been moving quickly for quite a distance. She brushed her dirty blonde hair behind her ears before she spoke. I’m sorry. I was afraid of drawing any attention to myself …

      Caroline gave Lana a supportive smile. It’s fine, you’re just in time. Did you get the codes?

      Lana reached into the left-hand pocket of her black jacket and pulled out a slip of paper. Yea, but it wasn’t easy… She handed the paper to Caroline.

      Caroline looked at the two codes on the paper and nodded. Good, now we just have to get in. The security guards switch shifts at midnight. That should give us a brief window to get inside and back out again without drawing much attention.

      Lana was uneasy. What time is it now?

      Caroline looked at her watch. It’s 11:45. Not long now.

      Lana felt like her stomach was turning inside out. Carol, are you sure we should be doing this? Is it really right?

      Caroline looked over at the imposing corporate office building. M.E.E.R. stood for Marketed Evolution of Electronic Revitalization. They were a successful electronics company supplying
