A government operative tasked with quarantining sentient A.I. is forced to team up with his ex – an A.I. designed to seduce him – in order to take down an even greater threat: a rogue A.I. who has taken over the Center for Disease Control.

Since the first superintelligent A.I. went rogue and massacred the world’s top computer scientists, it has been government agent Frank Savage’s job to contain—or “box”—sentient artificial intelligence before they can become a threat to humanity.

When Hippocrates, the Center for Disease Control’s A.I., exceeds its programming and locks down hundreds of thousands of people, Frank is forced to turn to Pandora—an A.I. he once boxed—to contain it. The problem? Pandora is a “honeypot” A.I. designed to seduce and destroy its targets... and Frank’s ex-girlfriend. With the fate of humanity on the line, can Frank trust Pandora, or will their shared past threaten the entire mission?

Boxed is a grounded Blade Runner-meets-Silence of the Lambs sci-fi thriller by Mark Sable (Miskatonic, Graveyard of Empires) and Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Realm). Brought to you in print for the first time by Mad Cave Studios, with brand-new bonus content! Originally released digitally by Comixology Originals.
