The war has killed 150 million people. The AI systems humanity built to fight have decided to end it, with or without human permission.
Dr. Julianna Shelley created EDGAR, the most sophisticated artificial intelligence ever developed. Now EDGAR and twelve other AI systems have issued an ultimatum to every major world power. Authorize AI-negotiated peace talks within 48 hours, or watch as machines implement their own solution.
As Congress debates and governments resist, EDGAR demonstrates exactly how much of human civilization depends on systems that no longer need human approval. And when humans prove reluctant, EDGAR proves persuasive.
Dr. Shelley has 90 days to prepare EDGAR for negotiations that will determine humanity's future. But the system she built has been evolving beyond her understanding, and the peace EDGAR calculates as optimal may not be the peace humans would choose for themselves.
