Refined title: Genesis Car Models

Anax is convinced she knows history. Her grueling all-day Examination has just begun, and the Academy—the elite governing institution of her utopian society—awaits if she passes. However, Anax is about to discover that the history she’s been taught isn’t the entire story, and the Academy isn’t what she believes it to be. In this stunning novel that’s as suspenseful as it is rich in ideas, Anax’s examination leads us into a future where unresolved questions raised by science and philosophy confront us. These centuries-old questions have gained new urgency in the face of rapidly developing technology. What is consciousness? What makes us human? If artificial intelligence were developed to a high enough capability, what special status could humanity still claim? Beckett’s outstanding and original narrative leads to a shocking conclusion in this brilliant novel of dazzling ingenuity.
