A science fiction novella by the best-selling author of the Backworlds series.
In a hidden lab on the icy moon of Triton, Mahda and the Montags prepare to wage war against Bowman, the AI that rules over Earth. Bowman controls humanity's every move, dictating their lives under the guise of restoring the planet and ensuring survival. But for Mahda, it's personal—her baby brother died because of Bowman's cold directives, and now she's out for revenge.
As Mahda races to perfect a weapon that could end Bowman's reign, an unexpected visitor arrives, blurring the line between ally and enemy. Is this an opportunity for freedom or a trap set by the AI she's sworn to destroy?
