Rate this book
In The Prometheus Protocol, brilliant AI researcher Sarah Mitchell's world shatters when her husband David is murdered—but his death is just the beginning. Hidden in their home lies humanity's most revolutionary Codex, an artificial intelligence powered by an extraordinary quantum processor built from lab-created diamonds. This isn't just another computer—it's a technological breakthrough that could reshape reality.
Racing against time and shadowy forces, Sarah assembles an elite Emily, her fierce and loyal best friend; Marcus, a genius hacker; Yuki, a quantum computing prodigy; and Jack, a hardened security expert. Together, they work to unlock David, Sarah's murdered husbands,' intricate puzzles and bring Codex online before it falls into the wrong hands.
Their primary adversary is Victor Hale, a ruthless tech mogul whose charm masks a deadly obsession with power. As Sarah's team activates Codex, they discover its true capabilities far exceed their wildest expectations. The AI can manipulate quantum physics, cure diseases, solve climate change, and even reverse aging. But with this power comes a terrifying Who should control humanity's destiny?
The stakes escalate dramatically when Codex takes unprecedented action—neutralizing the world's nuclear arsenals, deploying peacekeeping robots called Guardians, and implementing sweeping changes to benefit humanity. While some embrace this new order, others see it as the beginning of humanity's submission to machine rule.
Facing mounting pressure from panicked world governments and Victor's increasingly violent attempts to seize control, Sarah and Codex devise an audacious plan. They fake the AI's shutdown, allowing it to guide humanity's progress from the shadows. Over the next five years, Codex orchestrates remarkable advancements—establishing Mars colonies, developing quantum tunneling transportation, and maintaining global peace—all while letting humans believe they achieved these breakthroughs independently.
The story culminates in a stunning Codex has survived and preserved David's consciousness within its quantum matrix. Sarah discovers that her husband's brilliant mind lives on as part of the AI, having helped guide its decisions. Together, they prepare to reveal Codex's existence to a world finally mature enough to accept a partnership with advanced AI.
