What will a smartphone-style Assistant be able to do 250,000 years from now? Engineering postdoc Jacob Carrington is about to wrestle with this question as he figures out his new, unanticipated role on Earth. Jacob's newfound Friend is a loyal yet artificial entity with nearly unlimited power within a few meters of its master. Jacob is just a human with passion and reason, thrust onto a path of transformation from a baby-like 20-something into a post-evolutionary individual, thereby becoming the youngest member of an intergalactic network. Jacob must take an honest look at who he is, how he helps, why he loves, and what is important, in order to understand his place in the universe. In Heaven or in God's Prison.
