After a near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek sanctuary in a city under siege by an OWI.

For Brittle, that means one haunting memory in particular . . . ************ 'The novel does not stint on action and violence, but what lingers in the mind are its brutal vision of a world cannibalising itself and the poignant questions it raises about soul and sentience' FINANCIAL TIMES
