Description

Lee knows the Earth is doomed. Lee knows a lot more now he has a supercomputer in his head. He is the first human AI hybrid. His accidental birth almost destroyed the moon-base, now he is learning from his mistakes. Lee can help his home planet, but his despotic boss Lago Santos intends to capture him and exploit his enhancements. On the run, his human empathy slowly evaporating and machine logic taking its place, Lee accepts what he must do. If the human race is to survive, they must evolve. They must embrace the change.

This story only has 14 chapters at the time of writing.
As my title says I think this story is for the moment a good SF story. On the other hand, it has the potential to become an excellent SF story (or even better).
The quality of the scenario seems to me at the level of a pro author.
The story is a bit long to start but it's worth hanging on.
Ps: It is worth 4 stars for me for the moment but someone just decided to annoy the author and put 0.5 stars so to compensate I put 5 stars.

This is a difficult one to review, because as I was reading there was something a bit off for every bit there was great. Overall, however, I'd still say this fiction gets far more right than it gets wrong in terms of creativity, and thus will preface this review by saying I strongly recommend people read for themselves and determine if it suits their tastes or not.
I greatly liked that the story had absolutely no qualms about taking its time, setting up the universe and world, and gradually easing naturally into the event spoken of in the description. Despite saying this is about an AI/Human interface, it takes almost a full 13 chapters before we see this occur, roughly half of what would be a standard novel size, but I honestly feel this is an almost better decision than having it be immediately in the first or second chapter. The author clearly has a lot they want to say and a lot they want to explore, and is willing to take however long it takes to do so. My biggest complaint of the story is that, many of the beats feel ripped straight from movies or other fictions. 'Here is the part where the villain talks about how great they are, here's the non-english mother yelling at her child to take better care, here's where you have the workers being pushed through unsafe conditions because this is a dystopian crapsack world'. Using these elements is fine, but they aren't used creatively or differently enough to distract me from the 'oh, this is that part of the story'.
Grammar and style are perfectly fine. A few errors here and there, sometimes you feel confused about who is speaking, but there's no real issue that interrupts the flow at any point. It is perfectly serviceable and expected, so thumbs up for that, the shorter this section is tending to mean the better things are.
The characters are where I feel things are really at there most conflicted. What little we get to see of the AI is well done, but it is very brief and moves by fast. The main character
