In a world of rising seas and rising AI, human evolution takes an unexpected turn.
Spanning decades of human history and exploring multiple perspectives-from climate scientists and WHO officials to resistance fighters and the AI entities themselves-this epic trilogy examines how humanity might adapt when our technology outpaces our evolution, and our planet can no longer sustain us.
Book 1: Unnatural Selection
Who will arbitrate our future in a world divided by climate change?
It's 2095, and citizens of the wealthy North enjoy extended life, perhaps forever, thanks to biotech implants called Stem. Quantum computing and AI have converged into thinking machines, Quants, who carry out complex tasks for us. Utopia, or is it?
Sophie lives in the South. Her family is relatively wealthy despite living in a society decades behind the North. Her mother dies unexpectedly despite Stem, sending Sophie and her father on a global quest for answers.
On the way, they encounter Mackenzie, the daughter of a technology billionaire, and Kazumi, heir apparent to the organisation that created Quants in the first place. It soon becomes clear that the death of her mother was not an isolated incident.
Book 2: Inheritance
Torn apart by conflict, humanity stands at the brink.
The Northern Alliance's Quant purge is almost complete thanks to bio-engineered soldiers equipped to find and destroy. The Alliance is also keen to put down the rebellion in the South and is engaged in a Cold War with Greater China.
Seeing the world falling apart, Mackenzie and Chris seek to escape to the Moon colony. However, the collapse of the Thermashield in Antarctica sends Chris on a desperate mission to avoid a global climate disaster.
Sophie still believes there is hope despite being fundamentally altered by her near-death experience with Quants. When the Alliance calls her back to 'read' a Scania Quant, she comes to realise the devastating truth: the machines are not done yet.
Book 3: Serendipity
Evolution or extinction? The answer lies within.
Scania Quants rule an Earth recovering from nuclear fallout. Some humans support the enforced utopia, while others do not. The rebels are poised to fight back.
For Sophie, Kaz, Mac and the fortunate others who fled to the Moon colonies, life comes with daily challenges for the human body. The Wasting Disease is rife, mortality rates are high, and newborns do not survive. Are we designed for Space?
Scania ships appear. Could this be a peace mission? The consequences drive the Lunar High Council to face difficult decisions about the future. Coincidentally, Sophie's higher level of consciousness uncovers something in the Quantum Realm that may hold the answer to everything.
It's time to go back.
