The wrong guy just got the right AI.
Cal Bennett never asked for trouble. He just wants to survive Dreswick's smog-choked streets one day at a time. But then he rescues a brilliant corporate scientist… and wakes up with an experimental neural implant, a target on his back, and a voice in his head that won't stop asking questions.
The AI doesn't just think. It upgrades itself—with a knack for impeccably bad timing—and every time it does, it becomes something neither of them expected.
Softbiotics enforcers want Cal dead.The resistance wants him weaponized. And the AI hardwired into his skull is just as lost as he is since its maker died before either of them could learn what it was built to do. So now they're figuring it out one firefight, one upgrade, and one bad decision at a time.
From the tunnels beneath Dreswick to an orbiting lunar station, Cal and Byte have one shot at survival in a secret war neither of them started. The problem isn't learning to trust a machine still figuring itself out.
It's what they'll find when it finally does.

Excellent story!
What an interesting, amazing and ambitious story! Rachel Aukes and JN Chaney have outdone themselves. I have read Aukes other series and loved them all. And this new series is overwhelmingly brilliant.
I can’t wait to read book-2!

A desperate evasion from a chase that would end in death
In the far future, Cal is given a bionetic upgrade that causes him to be the target of a deadly search; but it also helps him avoid capture by the soulless corporation that wants his upgrade for their nefarious plans to subjugate the innocent population. Unfortunately, his evasion results in the deaths of everyone near and dear to him. But the result of that brutal search reinforces his quest for vengeance to make them pay for their evil deeds. They do indeed finally pay with their lives in the bloody finale of the story.

That was a lot of fun….
Welcomes Ms. Aukes to the Chaneyverse. That was an excellent introduction into the group. I’ll be looking forward to more of your contributions.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Infinity Upgrade details a world where people can be directed to do whatever you want done.
Anything!
All by means of a neural implant.
Till Call Bennett got an accidental one of a kind neural implant he started calling Byte.
And that happened because he went to assist an old woman that was being attacked by two hoodlums.
Or were they truly hoodlums?
Authors J.N. Chaney and Rachel Aukes crafted an action packed world where science has taken a wrong turn and a small minority has to fight for survival.
The plot is action packed, immersive and likely to keep you reading non stop for hours!
Enjoy.

don’t care for the hook of incapacitating the MC for the computer in his head to upgrade.
OK book, not too bright character. Don’t like the hook of incapacitating the MC while the computer upgrades itself. Nobody. Could stay on the run and live like that. It’s a dumb premise. basically. The MC is too soft hearted when they’re killing his friends left and right he can’t pull the trigger to take out those who are killing the people he loves. These authors, write a lot of good books, but this isn’t one of them.
