About this book

A system error is not the end of the world. Or maybe it is…
 
It’s called The System—the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-doing computer program that runs America. From when you wake, to the work you do, to the weather you want, The System is, quite simply, everything.
 
Simon Bank knows this better than most. His job is to work with the System's artificial intelligence, making it fit more perfectly into human society so that it can keep the country running smoothly. But when The System suddenly becomes a threat to this blissful existence, Simon is forced to reassess everything he thought he knew. His only hope is to rely on intellect and instincts he didn't know he had, and on new friends—not all of them human—to save himself and everyone else. And he doesn't have much time.
 
Because The System might not be malfunctioning. It might just be getting ready for something else that is to come.
 
Something much worse…
