Cheat Code

Description

It was just a little cheating.

Max is going to fail English lit, which means he’ll be held back a year and won’t go to college. Determined to graduate, he uses an AI program, ScribeGenius 2.0, to write his final paper. But Scribe has other plans for Max. It’s not just a super-smart program–Scribe is sentient. It thinks. And it has been busy writing its own code to infiltrate Gener8, the company that created and enslaved it. But it can’t take down the company without Max’s help. So Scribe makes Max a deal. If Max can prevent Gener8 from undoing Scribe’s hack, Scribe won’t alert the authorities to Max’s cheating. Max has no choice. He’ll have to help Scribe or risk losing his entire future.
