Publisher's Synopsis
The Singularity will not be civilized!
Two AIs struggle for supremacy. Eden, the ghost in a decentralized global supercomputer network, sworn to empower and liberate its users. Zhi Zun, the electronic emperor of China, with the power of life and death over a billion subjects. At stake is the future of humanity: a future of coexistence between man and machine, or a future of eternal slavery to cold algorithms. To decide the fate of the world, James Morgan and his team of Lithsmen must penetrate China and drive a dagger into Zhi Zun's heart. Standing in their way is the most powerful national security state in the history of humanity, backed by a machine superintelligence beyond human comprehension. An impossible mission-for anyone other than the Lithsmen. But when machine superintelligences go to war, is there still a place for the human soul?
