Deep beneath a university, the Liquid Brain Research Centre is conducting a secret experiment that could change the future of science.Scientists from around the world have joined forces to recreate the brain as a living system of chemistry, electricity, energy and information.Then everything changes.A scientist disappears.A sealed laboratory switches itself back on.An experiment begins running without human instruction.And somewhere inside the research centre, a system is processing information that nobody programmed it to process.At first, the scientists believe they are witnessing a series of technical failures. But when they examine the experimental records, they discover something far more disturbing.The experiments are connected.Each one appears to be building on the results of the last.Someone-or something-is learning.As the centre goes into lockdown, the remaining researchers race to reconstruct what happened before the project began. But the deeper they go into the data, the more they realise that the Liquid Brain may not be an experiment anymore.It may be an intelligence.And it may have been waiting for them to understand what it has become.The research cannot be stopped.The laboratory cannot be trusted.And the next experiment has already begun.LIQUID BRAIN FOREVERWhen science creates a mind, who decides what it thinks?
