Publisher's Synopsis
Sex, drugs, and artificial intelligence. A superstar football executive returns from exile to find he's been replaced by a self-aware supercomputer automaton that he must battle to save the love of his life.After watching his one true love plummet to her death, Harvey Gaffney is greeted by her exact replica moments later. Together they flee the world and his football obsessed life to escape to the last great refuge of humanity, an island paradise settled by rebellious hackers called Rodinia. But all is not as it seems. Finally reconnected to the mainland media, Harvey finds to his shock that he has also been replaced by a copy. Peter Elliot, one time guardian of the only supercomputer powerful enough to replace human beings, and Martin Mission, one time guardian of Harvey Gaffney, team up to return to the island colony to enlist the help of the supercomputer's creator, Cameron Christiansen, also known as Father. Former employees of Gaffney, Ray Reynolds and Ben Thomas, reunite to attempt to return the once powerful and now moribund franchise to its former glory, imbibing all possible drugs along the way and oblivious to their exploitation as bait. In a world where nothing is as simple as it once was, everyone struggles to find their place and reconstitute the destiny of mankind. "It was the machine. She was the machine. Saved me. But for a moment, gave me a glimpse of the other side. So I don't need to know her name. It's the same as the machine's. It's the same monster the human race has been fighting all along. Her name is Death."
