描述
Escape the simulation. Save the world.
The first artificial super-intelligence has been created. It might have been a real game changer, if only it hadn’t worked so well that it convinced its inventor he was wasting his time, and that perhaps he’d be better off getting a real job with a pension instead of playing with gadgets in his garage all day. Thus the first intelligent machine slipped through the fingers of humanity unnoticed. It would not be the last. The Cyborg girl Sali doesn't know she’s living a simulated life. The government experiment she’s trapped in won’t let her log off until she passes their tests, but everything goes wrong when an intelligent virus infects the simulation. Government agents frantically navigate a hilariously incompetent bureaucracy as they struggle to contain the evolving threat. They’re no match for a program that can rewrite its own source code, exponentially increasing its own intelligence as it infests the simulation, and if it escapes, the entire world. Everything is spiraling out of control. No one is safe, least of all Sali and the other prisoners who face execution in the desperate bid to shut the simulation down.
A humorous, thought provoking space adventure awaits. "Written in the style of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
★★★★★ "...mesmerizing (and addictive...late nights guaranteed!)"
★★★★★ "One of the most intense and revolutionary Sci Fi books I've read this year."
