    Life at the Lunar Coding Complex is boring, not that 13-year-old Moon Girl cares. She finds comfort in its predictability—her first real friend and AI coding keep her anxiety in check. When her charismatic bestie attracts the attention of rebel hackers led by Moon Girl's crush Dovrin, she's thrilled to join their crew.
