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?
Caveat: 5 only for LOTR c!ass lit. Still this comes close. A great look at possibilities of a singularity and of remote viewing. I felt it bogged down at points, but overall it is an impressive take on this genre. I look forward to good things from Kit Sun Cheah.
