DEUS

Alex Hess is a once-in-a-century genius, a computer science prodigy. Exploiting revolutionary advances in quantum computing, he has neural implants embedded in his cortex and then electronically emulates his brain, creating the world’s first true general artificial intelligence. Initially cautious with the tremendous power he has created, he slowly allows his creation access to the outside world. Incomparably faster than any existing supercomputer, it quickly determines that the human race is deeply flawed and hostile and takes initial steps to protect itself. The US government realizes that Alex has lost control before he does, and the race is on to destroy technology that mankind is unprepared for.

This fast-paced, well-researched thriller explores the potential and risks posed by advancing computers and brain machine interfaces, of science that may soon no longer be fiction.
