The Chalice Study introduces Chalice Wong, a 10-year-old girl whose father, Dr. James Moonweed Wong, installs an experimental AI named Bag Of Beliefs (BOB) into her nervous system to guide her through the challenges of maturing in an ever-changing world. As Dr. Wong begins to favor the BOB side of Chalice, and as BOB threatens to do the job of living Chalice’s life better than her, Chalice jealously wonders: what is left for her classic human self to do?
