Dorian is a vain programmer who just wants to be left alone to write his masterpiece. He's a jaded AI developer with a family who wants nothing to do with him, working for a stagnant tech company.
In his spare time, he's also working on a secret project, combining the latest areas of research from his company into one forward-thinking prototype that he knows will change the world.
But it must start with changing his own world.

The title, of course, is immediately reminiscent of Oscar Wilde's excellent story about the painting of the disolute Dorian Gray which ages in the p!ace of Dorian himself. And there is a further similarity in the obsession of the AI developer, vain and emotionally remote, absorbed in his work.
Well written, and nicely read by Robert Meet, this is an S.F. book like the old and good ones of the genre, but with a modern gloss. Predictable in it's outcome, it is still very much worth reafing.
