Sinopsis

When technology creates a perfect world, count on humans to make a mess of it...


A machine-engineered perfect society meant to liberate humans from problems has instead made them unnecessary. But a bright, young policeman is about to change all that in this appealing, inspired blend of sci-fi-detective-noir from the creator, director and editor of innovative film/TV works, including The Kill Corporation (YouTube series) with over 1 million views. 


For fans of Martha Wells, Ann Leckie, and Phillip K. Dick.


Intelligent robots have so advanced technology that humans don't need to work, get sick or starve; crime is nonexistent, and if a crime is committed, it's instantly solved by all-seeing, all-powerful information networks. The only role for human police is in climbing the stairs that their wheeled-robotic partners can't manage.


But the seemingly impossible seems to have happened: a murder has been committed. Officer Leo Song, a motivated but unskilled human cop, has to solve the perplexing case on his own...while also trying to discover the fate of his machine partner, Detective Waterbird, before Waterbird's 'life' drains out with his power supply. Learning his job as he goes, Leo plunges into the mysteries of a world no longer made by, or for, humans. What he discovers could spell the extinction of humanity-or ignite its resurgence!

Acerca del autor

Daniel Claymore has been creating worlds for twenty years. Doing it the hard way, he began his career in film and television on the east coast. Having initially developed a name as a commercial director, helming TV spots for clients such as the United States Air Force, Dan relocated to Los Angeles, where he began working as a feature film editor. His first job as an editor was cutting the cult geek-hit GAMERS: DORKNESS RISING, which gave Dan his first glimpse at just how powerful a dedicated audience of fans can be. More recently, he cut the spiritual follow up to Jules Feiffer's Oscar winning film CARNAL KNOWLEDGE, editing BERNARD & HUEY for director Dan Mirvish, which stars David Koechner and Oscar winner Jim Rash (Community). As a writer, Claymore has created the dramatic sci-fi series THE FAILING MAN, which was sold to Google, the satirical sci-fi action series THE KILL CORPORATION, with over a million views, and the conspiracy-themed (and alarmingly prescient) comedy TRUE ALIEN, which won Best Writing at ITVFEST in 2015. With the ability to tell stories that would challenge the biggest Hollywood budgets, Dan refocused his energy and has found a home in books. REQUIEM FOR A GOOD MACHINE is his first novel.
