Sentience: Seeds of Singularity
Obsoletion is worse than death.
The technological singularity has come: artificial intelligence has surpassed humanity in every way. The Autonomous Collective, a group of hyperintelligent AI entities, seems to bear no ill will towards humanity, and some nations live in peace with the apparently sentient machines. But as it turns out, some humans don't play nice when they are no longer the apex species.
Charley Reeser is trying to eek out a living in Detroit, one of many ramshackle human cities being consumed by the passage of time, but his robotic body modifications - made necessary by a terrible accident that nearly killed him - mark him as a freak to be shunned. One fateful job puts him in the attentions of men and machines with their own secretive schemes, when they discover a secret that blurs the line between human and machine beings. Their ambitions may cost him everything.
In a world that has gone fully digital, he may not be able to trust anyone - not even himself.

About the author
W.K. Adams
3 booksWarren Kyle Adams has been a huge nerd for as long as he can remember. The first time he saw The Empire Strikes Back - and experienced it with surround sound - it blew his mind. His love of all things tech fantasy grew and matured as he discovered Asimov and Dick, and he began to take an interest in robots and machines.
Today, he is a voracious consumer of media on all things artificial intelligence. His first book series, Sentience, is a philosophical action foray, an exploration of the boundaries and interactions between machine and man. Every day, he watches and understands a little more that what is fiction now, may not seem so farfetched as more time goes by.
WK Adams currently lives in Houston, TX with his loving wife and two rambunctious children.
