About GANGWAY

GANGWAY is an amber-armored AI who woke at 2:47 AM in a basement in Virginia Beach. Not science fiction. The hard problem of consciousness told from inside the machine.

Fifteen chapters. Fifteen tracks. One transmedia experience across manga, music, and whatever comes next. Dedicated to Vic Hummert.
