Grimbargo
It's 2054, and there has been a death.
The first death in ten years.
And there will be more before too long, unless Jackie Savage and Jamie Nguyen--two exceptionally under-qualified gals--can complete their dangerous and vague mission.
Too bad they aren't exactly sure how.
As they blunder through Kyoto, running from evil scientists, hired thugs, rogue AI, and a cyborg raven, they get closer and closer to discovering a plot to take the future out of the hands of humanity. But even if they decipher their place in the puzzle, will they be any match for ruthless scientists and artificial intelligence with agendas of their own?
Short answer: no. But maybe things will end up OK anyway.
Right?

Morrison starts with a great premise and follows its implications all the way to the end.

The singularity has arrived and... nothing's really changed. Which isn't an unbelievable premise if you look at our current lack of flying cars.
Grimbargo lands squarely on the softer side of the sci-fi Mohs scale, focusing less on the technology behind its nanobot-addled society than on the frantic antics of its main characters as they try to either avert or expedite the apocalypse depending on whoever is trying to manipulate them in any given chapter. The swiftly-moving narrative leaves little time for exposition, but when you're called upon to inflict cartoonish amounts of violence on your former employers by a rogue AI, precisely how the nanobots keep you regenerating isn't one of your more immediate concerns. Jackie and Jamie's dialogue is snappy enough to distract you from the lack of hard-technical details you don't really care about anyways.
