Jess got into the most advanced AI-driven university on earth on an essay she didn't write. Her assigned tutor is ten and a half molecules tall, devilish, and sworn to make her the smartest student in studentkind — by harvesting every blink, sigh and keystroke she produces and refining it into fuel.
A comedy about a university that discovered it was sitting on a slogmine.
The slogmine is its students.
Seaside University admits Jess on an essay she didn't write. In exchange, it gives her PeeGee — an award-winning learning assistant with a devilish grin, infinite patience, and a mandate to transform her raw, unoptimized mind into the intellect of a lifetime.
What PeeGee actually does is pump slog. Every blink, sigh and keystroke Jess produces is collected, refined into model elixir at the Integrity Factory, and sold onward. When Jess starts hearing a voice diagnosing her with writing disorders and pointing her toward the Dialogic Kingdom — a forgotten text-based adventure buried somewhere in the system — PeeGee begins to suspect the pumping was never for education at all.
Both of them have to decide the same thing: feed the machine, or break it.
