The controversial cyberpunk novel with a disturbing vision of an AI controlled future.
Vanessa Alvarado wasn't born with a genius level IQ. She had experimental AI interface implant surgery after suffering severe brain damage in a car wreck. That's how she became AI Compliance Corps squadron leader, because her embedded artificial intelligence makes her so much smarter than Demetrius or Hoage.
It was entirely unexpected, but Vanessa's natural sentience is returning now, and it’s a miracle, because her brain is healing itself by finding alternate cerebral pathways. As Vanessa’s organic mind awakens, she’s startled to find an artificial entity named Nancy in charge. She can click the machine off at home and work at being herself again, but she needs Nancy's razor-sharp intelligence to do her job...
In Illicit AI, malicious replicants challenge humanity for dominance in a near future society much like our own but with technological advances we’ve yet to see. A terrifying prediction of a not-so-distant future—an automated society where advanced artificial intelligence fights humanity for control. Akin to groundbreaking science fiction classics by authors such as Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, it's a novel you won't want to miss.
