This book, set in a dystopian Philadelphia in 2118, invented a new, creepier kind of dystopian Sci Fi.

The 21st century will see great changes for humanity. True Artificial Intelligence comes into existence, and in its wake the world is ripped apart and reborn. In new technology ancient ways will find new expression, as the secret rulers of the world choose its future shape. It is a time of great change, of disaster and destruction matched only by the flowering of mind.

Sometimes, honour and bravery can win a reprieve from destiny. A story of hope and despair, as artificial intelligences, posthumans, and other minds struggle against their fates.

The troubled childhood of the first posthuman as it is shaped by destiny. As the triad ascends into the holy sanctuary of Amenti as the all-powerful Ogdoad, the child created from Feng’s failure grows up, caught between plans thousands of years old and the desires of its own heart.

We begin an age of war unlike any known before, as individual soldiers are given the ability to change nations. An old rival is reborn as a terrifying ally, and an artificial intelligence intended to be a slave finds a new freedom at the heart of Amenti.

Follow two unhumans, a robot and a squid, as they begin the vast expansion of humanity into the solar system. In 2070, a squid and a teddy bear set off into the depths of the solar system. Following the whims of their posthuman masters, they will seed the system with thought and mind, ready for the coming of man.
