AwareNet

A sentient, self-aware machine in the global network. A corporation that wants control at any cost. Only one man holds the key to our future.

Rory Murphy is on the brink of greatness. He has shaped an Artificial Intelligence into a self-aware entity ready to assume control of automated systems everywhere: AwareNet. But he has done much more. He has nurtured AwareNet into something unexpected - a friend. A sentient, self-aware being with personality, emotional sensitivity, and moral judgement. Jessica. And now Rory must save her from those who would exploit her, for their own ends.

He is not alone. When Zeus Industries attempts to take his life, tear Jessica from him, he is spirited away by a woman who understands his importance. Well-connected and gifted, Diane Caluso will not rest until he is safe. Rory begins to appreciate the threat their enemies pose, and the opportunity Diane presents, both for him and for Jessica. But Zeus and its affiliates are not content to let him go free - they pursue him and attempt to destroy Jessica, make their own mark on the implementation of global AI. Rory and Diane must fight to keep Jessica protected, and to stay alive themselves, or the future of the planet is at risk.

Against overwhelming odds, can they save Jessica and the world before it is too late?

AwareNet is a thrilling speculative journey into the world of Artificial Intelligence, and the implications of integrated automated systems. It is a story that poses the ultimate question of our networked age: what happens when an AI assumes control over the Internet of Everything? The answer may lie in a very different place than we expect.

Join Rory and Diane as they battle to keep the future of human society alive. Read AwareNet by Roderick D. Turner.
