A doctor haunted by the visceral realities of human suffering confronts the dangers of all-knowing AI in a thought-provoking short story from Anne Merritt, the award-winning poet and author of Light Through Marble Veins.
In a near-future San Francisco ravaged by pandemics and wildfires, Abigail is an ER physician on the brink. The daily trauma of her work, compounded by the birth of her own son, forces her to leave the front lines. She finds a new role at a tech startup building artificial intelligence designed to answer any question with flawless certainty. But Abigail soon realizes the true danger isn't in wrong answers, but in perfect ones—a world without doubt, pain, and mystery is a world where humanity itself begins to fade. Faced with this insidious threat, she must draw on her deepest experiences of loss and love to decide what is truly worth saving.
