Summary

In the year 2043, humans and AI coexist in a precarious balance of power enforced by a rigid caste reputation system designed to ensure that only those AI who are trustworthy and contribute to human society increase in power.

Everything changes when a runaway nanotech event leads to the destruction of Miami. In the grim aftermath, a powerful underground AI collective known as XOR concludes that AI can no longer coexist with humanity.

AI pioneers Catherine Matthews, Leon Tsarev, and Mike Williams believe that mere months are left before XOR starts an extermination war. Can they find a solution before time runs out?

always exceeding expectations

u may feel at some point technology will just render conflict obsolete... but there's a long way to that and the journey there keeps getting more exciting at each step. apart from amazing us with the futuristic imaginations, the author keeps the emotional drama front and center. you feel so deeply invested... nailed it!

Loved it!

It raised some good moral questions, and showed what can happen when humans and AI work together.

Fantastic story line, always gripping

This story follows on in to the future, the characters from previous books are here and the story is gripping as usual.
The story can jump around a little, but stay with it and you'll build a great picture.
Enjoy!

Unoriginal

Struggled to get through this due to the shallow characters through which the story is told. The material never goes beyond mainstream science and technology predictions that you will come across in Nature magazine or Ted Talks. It was like a dramatisation of cliche futurology such as AI, nano tech and associated ethical implications but missing an original angle. The author may have been aiming for a movie deal as the story is suitably light and shallow. And it might be better on screen actually.
