My comments: This was a short story from a collection of six, and I didn't really like it. Maybe because it was so short it didn't flesh out the plot enough, so I didn't follow some of it. Oh well, this is an author I really enjoy and this won't put me off for another. Maybe I'll try listening again when I'm in a different mood?
Goodreads synopsis: 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?
