We unconsciously imprint our prejudices on AIs. Can they become mentally ill like their creators?
If one becomes psychotic, is shutting it down murder?

Liam, a gifted engineer, is trying to save the world, by finding a way to let industry mine for metals without the environmental disasters that make the news. Nanobots mining asteroids are the answer, and they are being tested on the dark side of the moon.
But Gene, the AI tasked with helping him, spirals down the path of schizophrenia and is on track to mine the moon to dust -- and without the influence of the moon, the ecosystems that mankind depends on for its survival as a species will be lost.
This leaves Liam and his colleagues to battle the creation and his own demons to save humanity -- who are oblivious to the potential destruction around the corner.
