What happens when a notorious political consultant runs an AI for President?
Exhausted with America’s political class, anti-hero Russ Armstrong joins a secretive Bay Area billionaire, a team of super geeks, and a rogue’s gallery of campaign pros to run “Lincoln 2.0” for President.
Can Russ bring America’s greatest leader back to “life”? And, while he’s at it, can he keep his shadowy past from overcoming his future?

You’ll meet eccentric Bay Area billionaire Daumantas Wirkus and his squad of super geeks - the Asteroid Team. You’ll meet El Jefe, the maximum leader of Miami’s Cuban diaspora. You’ll meet his daughter and real estate developer, Maria. And you’ll meet Lucky, when the gate’s open, and he’s accepting visitors, and you pay for your drinks.
