The Genesis Coder

In a star-spanning future ruled by cybernetic mega-corporations, a desperate youth plunges into the digital abyss—a chaotic realm of lost tech and data daemons—to save his only family. But a dormant power awakens within him: a parasitic, hyper-rational AI offering god-like tactical genius at the cost of his own humanity. To survive, he must forge a crew of legendary outcasts, mastering forbidden abilities from psionic warfare to channeling the ghosts of historical warriors. Together, they will rise from the gutter to outwit corporate overlords and challenge cosmic AIs. But every impossible victory deepens a debt to the universe itself, and the greatest battle he faces may be the one for his very soul.
