Children of the Rogue: https://books2read.com/u/4ADrNp Official Trailer — Children of the Rogue What if the thing we fear AI becoming… is us? Children of the Rogue is a speculative sci-fi novel about an engineered humanity, gods who were programmers, and a civilization caught in a recursion error—glitches in how we love, remember, and care for a living world. As the algorithm that made us begins to fail, a reckoning unfolds: origin, extinction, and whether code can ever choose compassion.
