The Torus Run - Paperback

by Harry Buck (Author)

Four months after the Blackout, San Francisco is back to its old habits-building the future by day and worrying about it by night. Stash Novak has done his share of both, but now he's out of time. Zero, his AI Twin, is weeks away from upgrading. The new version will make him smarter than Stash, smarter than anyone, and some of them are not amused. With the NSA, tech rivals, and an elusive hacker network closing in, Stash is ready to gamble on unlikely allies. Zero tried to talk him out of it, but Stash wouldn't listen. Convinced there's a way to protect his Twin and save humanity's future, he's ready to do whatever it takes: join forces with his enemies, make new ones, or even dive into the Torus-the AIs' churning new world.

The Torus Run pulls readers into a labyrinth of shifting alliances, where the line between human and machine blurs and the future of both hangs in the balance. It's a true story. It just hasn't happened yet.
