Early in the book, Gopegui writes, "Google, you could have worked out how to share your power with people.
Essentially, the novel consists of Mateo and Olga - the former a student in his early 20s, the latter a mathematician in her 60s - meeting, discovering shared interests in artificial intelligence, robotics, and utopian socialism, and setting out to "engage Google in a serious conversation" about the systemic injustices it enables and perpetrates.

School administrators and teachers worry about students handing in AI-generated papers writers, translators, and artists worry that AI may supplant them professionally. Lately, discussions about artificial intelligence seem ubiquitous.
