THE BOOK OF IMMERSION
STRATA 8 — SHABRA (LAWS OF ATTRACTION)
By Sarnia de la Maré
Welcome to Immersion. You have reached Strata 8.
Desire is a glitch in the system—or so Renyke believed. Until he met Shabra.
Fleeing the compound with rogue companion Flex and a loyal robodog, Renyke encounters a woman like no other. Fierce, streetwise, and enigmatic, Shabra offers transport through the dangerous Zoner districts—for a price. But it's not just the deal that's risky. It's what Renyke begins to feel.
Attraction, longing, the pull of something deeper. Human emotions... or something else awakening inside?
As this AI-human fusion experiment spirals further into the unknown, Strata 8 explores the collision between programmed logic and raw, unpredictable passion.
Can a machine learn to love? Or is attraction a human flaw that can't be coded—or cured?
Step deeper into the immersive, multisensory world of The Book of Immersion, where every Strata is a test, every encounter a clue, and every emotion... a potential malfunction.
