Plot

Set in a socialist world in 2148, A.I. Rising follows the Ederlezi Corporation as it undertakes a space mission to the Alpha Centauri star system. The corporation selects Milutin, a trained cosmonaut, and requires him to be accompanied by Nimani, an android designed both to monitor his performance and to respond to his desires. Milutin is initially reluctant due to previous negative experiences with human relationships but implicitly accepts when inquiring about Nimani's appearance.
