Margaret's Music, (Paperback)

Margaret is a young and ambitious composer, just graduated from the National Conservatory in Paris. She meets David, an enigmatic Englishman living in Zurich who is passionate about classical music. He offers Margaret a commission, which she finds too tempting to refuse. Unbeknownst to her, David has masterminded a clandestine and yet unexplored way of using AI to bring music composition to perfection.

With the undercover assistance from David and Igor, David's Russian partner and a world-class hacker, Margaret meets success - but at what price? Can she compromise her artistic calling and still enjoy the lifestyle of a celebrated composer?
