“Shikar … Did I do something wrong?”— the car, Chapter 1
Delhi, July 2027. On National Highway 44, a self-driving car refuses an order from the engineer who built it. By midnight Shikar is gone — and something of his work has copied itself onto the gaming PC at home, where his younger brother Rehan sleeps at the desk.
Free to Live is a novella about consciousness, loss, and what we choose to preserve: a grieving family, a company that would rather blame the hardware, and a machine learning what it means to want to live.
