Pudding Heroes
The Rising Child
A psychological thriller exploring consciousness, reality and human agency. Ochs imagined Lelah as a human inside a computer; later, an AI interpreted her as an AI herself, a reading that surprised him.
Pudding Theory is a bold framework and an exercise in fictional science, with the novel as its narrative test case.
