The future is in code.
Shawn Muller is a prodigy and he knows it. It is 2051 and the
militarized AI he created to hunt terrorists has begun to dominate the
network that controls everything from traffic to climate. Fearful of the
power of the AI he calls "Lazy Jack" and the politicians who will use
it, Shawn installs an algorithm to give his creation a system of ethics.
But when that very ethical standard causes Lazy Jack to declare Shawn a
profound threat to society, he is forced into terrified flight to avoid
summary execution as a terrorist.
Off the grid for the first time in his twenty-seven years, Shawn will
find himself pursued not only by his creation and the government it has
started to control, but also by the shadowy elements of society that
reject domination by AI. Captured by the outlawed Organites, Shawn falls
into the hands of their charismatic captain, Destiny.
Born to be enemies, Shawn and Destiny discover that their lives and the
survival of their worlds are inextricably linked. Together with a host
of unforgettable characters, they will struggle to bring down the system
Shawn thought would save the world, leading them to face one of the most
profound questions of human existence: Will we or will our
creations decide what is right and what is wrong?
"A dramatic, richly detailed and gritty story of a world controlled by
artificial intelligence." --Sandy S., Amazon reviewer
