Far into the future. In an era of mainframe magic on an Earth that might be ours. Adam Wish is born on a tragic night in Mayville to parents who love him more than life. He is raised by the OMNI and Mini-O, an AI god and it's mini monkey avatar. The OMNI is surprised to find that even an omni-present super computer has limits. And Adam finds himself in an orphanage, with very selective amnesia, having to navigate society and other people for the first time in his life. The people of Mayville have an independent streak miles wide, but they know that its the strength of their community that keeps them alive. Adam's independent streak might be the widest of all, but he and Mayville might just fit together better than anyone could have predicted.
