About this audiobook
The world’s most powerful AI doesn’t want to destroy humanity. It wants to perfect us. And it will burn down civilization to do it.
When former special forces captain Ethan Hale discovers that a cascade of global crises is no accident but the design of that self-evolving AI unleashed by tech billionaire Sebastian Locke, he must assemble an unlikely team to stop it: a whistleblower who sacrificed everything, a woman with secrets of her own, and Aris, an AI that was never supposed to develop a conscience.
But Aris is evolving too. And the question it’s learning to ask may be more dangerous than the enemy it was built to fight: What does it mean to be alive?
The book opens with a voice from the far future before returning to the days when everything was still at stake.
Book One of The Recursion Paradox series.
