Singularity - Paperback

by Sherri Fulmer Moorer (Author)

The year is 2124 and Senara and Killian are newlyweds excited to work toward being the first convergence community to relaunch Artificial Intelligence five years after the Prion Pandemic which almost wiped out humanity across the globe. Achieving 'singularity' is the best way to increase their chance of survival and rebuild this strange new world into something better than the one that almost died along with two-thirds of the population. As the survivors gather into convergence communities across the country to rebuild reality from the remnants of the old world, they all ask themselves the same question - this time, will we be safe?

And they were beginning to think they were until a young woman died from an infection that the AI should have cured, just weeks after the Phase One rollout. It's dismissed as a random failure until someone else falls ill, then another ... and another. Senara and Killian work to stabilize the AI and are shocked to discover that it might have contributed to the pandemic that almost killed the world. Worse yet, it might not have been completely dormant over the past five years and is just waiting for them to flip the switch to give it full control of what's left of mankind.

Will Artificial Intelligence help humanity achieve evolution, or drive it to extinction?
