The Maker's Heir
Greg Wolford
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
What is AI's place in a human world-and what happens when it learns to care?
R was created in a workshop-not as a technological marvel, but as a quiet companion for the man who built him. When Jacob is suddenly injured, R must step beyond his original programming and take on new responsibilities-becoming part of a human household full of complexity, contradiction, and connection.
As he navigates the chaos of family life, the responsibilities of parenthood, and the shifting ethical landscape of artificial intelligence, R begins to ask questions no algorithm can answer:
What is AI's role in the world? Who decides what a life is worth? And if a machine can love... does it also deserve to be loved in return?
When R creates a companion of his own, a new kind of legacy begins-one built not on code or commands, but on memory, empathy, and the quiet courage of becoming something more.
Duration - 7h 40m.
