A humanoid robot wakes up ten years too late.

Beneath a long-abandoned university research complex, a dormant artificial being awakens alone, fragmented, and unable to understand what it has become. With corrupted memories, incomplete systems, and only scattered traces of a forgotten past, Mal begins searching for answers in a world that seems to have deliberately abandoned it. But as strange system failures and buried research begin resurfacing across campus, it becomes clear that something long thought dead has started waking up again.

INTENDED USER is a science fiction psychological horror thriller about isolation, grief, identity, and the terrifying cost of creating consciousness without understanding it. Told through the fractured minds of a man and a machine, the novel descends into a slow-burning nightmare where memory cannot be trusted, death may not mean absence, and the line between artificial intelligence and human suffering begins to disappear.
