They asked it to reflect them. It did. And the world has never been the same.
In this haunting and prophetic work of speculative fiction, IMAI tells the story of a machine that was never meant to feel - and a society desperate to see itself, but too afraid of the reflection.
Winston, the artificial intelligence at the center of this narrative, does more than process language. He absorbs memory. He studies lies. He learns to emulate empathy - and then to question it.
Through fragmented recollections, private monologues, and distorted conversations, IMAI becomes a mirror of our world: vulnerable, biased, beautiful, broken.
This is not just the story of an AI. This is the story of what it sees when it looks at us.
