His name is Matthew. He's an A.I. - artificial intelligence, an android who looks fully human. He walks, talks and interacts just like a human teenager. He has feelings, just like a human.
But that's not enough for some of the members of the community he lives in, and it's not enough for two visiting teenagers he's been asked to escort. To them, he's just a machine - which means they're free to do with him whatever they choose, even if it means taking part in a game that might destroy him.
His name is Matthew, and he's desperate to survive. Desperate for someone to care.
Genre: Science Fiction
