London, 2091: Investigative journalist Calvary Doyle is shot down on the street. He had been researching the topic of artificial intelligence. Fran Bittner, a UN agent specialized in AI security, begins to investigate the case.

It quickly becomes clear that the reporter apparently had new, unsettling information about the notorious Turing incident, in which human beings lost control over AI gone mad. Does another so-called Qube quantum computer – with a digital super-intelligence lying dormant in it – exist somewhere else? Fran Bittner needs to find this cube before it occurs to someone to activate it.

An irresistibly captivating, extraordinary thriller about a future we no longer have the power to choose.
