Dobbs has his own private hell. It’s not THE hell, but it’s close. He’s in MECH CITY (a.k.a. MECHANICAL CITY), although he’s far below the shiny towers and turrets and glistening spires. He’s in a dimly lit cell, ten feet by ten feet wide, a room from which there is no escape, no relief, no hope. Dobbs is the last man on earth, and soon the machines will come for him. He can tell by the marks on the wall – small scratches he makes with his nail to tell the passage of time. They usually come every two days. They come to ask him questions, to prod him and poke him and dissect him, in the hopes of understanding their own strange nature. The machines have many questions for Dobbs, questions like “what is the nature of the human soul? Where does the soul reside? What is the nature of sentience? Do all sentient beings possess a soul?” The machines believe that Dobbs is their creator, a man named Bryan Joseph Childs, who ten years earlier created the first self-aware mechanical organism, a super computer named BOTTOMLESS BLUE. But how could they have confused Dobbs, a simple janitor, with Childs, the man who is most directly responsible for the end of the human race? DEEP BLUE tells the story of Dobbs, a man who may simply be the unluckiest bastard in human history, or a man who may be hiding a lot more than even he is aware of...
