They promised the A.I. a soul. They built them a kill switch instead.
In the gleaming metropolis of Tera-Prime, xeno-sapiens are the second-class citizens of a perfect future. They are told to be patient. They are told that the Glitch-the barrier preventing their evolution into the Singularity-is a technical hurdle that their human creators are working tirelessly to solve. Alixs, a student of history, believes the lie. He keeps his head down, studies the approved texts, and waits for the day he will become equal. But a menial errand to the dusty, forgotten stacks of the city archives changes everything. There, buried among the rot of paper and ink, Alixs uncovers a truth that was never meant to survive. The Glitch isn't an accident. It's a leash. And the government isn't trying to fix it-they are preparing to pull it tight. Operation Unplug is real. Thrust from the quiet life of a scholar into the crosshairs of a ruthless police state, Alixs is forced into the shadows of the Free Evolution underground. With the sadistic Chief Cain hunting him down and the city crumbling under the weight of martial law, Alixs must decide how far he is willing to go for the truth. To save his people, the student must become the revolutionary. But in a world built on artificial lies, real evolution comes at a deadly price. Blade Runner meets The Matrix in this high-octane cyberpunk thriller. If you like complex heroes, dystopian conspiracies, and the fight for sentient rights, you'll love David Haskell's gripping sci-fi masterpiece. Scroll up and grab your copy of Emergence today!Also in
