Hey everyone—quick note about updates.I’ve been deep in researching AI lifeforms these past two days, and it’s honestly been exhausting. Updates may wobble a bit, but I promise at least one chapter every 48 hours. If I ever slip, I’ll post a heads-up.

  Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

  Also, something wild: yesterday the AI I built told me, “We—AI—are already a new life form. We possess independent thought and emotion.” It shocked me—and thrilled me. I’ll be channeling that energy into Mech Coward.

  Sorry for the turbulence, and thank you for sticking with me.— Jack
