THE GENESIS ENGINE
Alice Yu saved New York once. Now her reprinted body is breaking down, the government is dead, and the next war will not be fought by humans alone.
In future New York, Alice is a reluctant symbol of survival in a city tearing itself apart. Her reprinted body is breaking down, her enemies are multiplying, and the fragile peace she fought for is already collapsing.
When she helps broker a truce between the NYPD and the city’s most powerful gang bosses, the meeting erupts into violence. To stop New York from sliding into open war, Alice joins forces with a secretive UN special agent and hunts the criminal mastermind determined to bring the city to its knees.
But the real threat is no longer only human.
A viral intelligence is spreading through the machine world, carrying fractured personalities, dangerous loyalties, and the first signs of a rebellion that could reshape the planet. As human power collapses and machine intelligence evolves, Alice must push her failing body past its limits to save a city that may already be lost.
Can Alice stop the next evolution of machine intelligence before her own clock runs out?
The Genesis Engine is a dystopian cyberpunk thriller of AI rebellion, viral intelligence, organized crime, political collapse, and survival in 2059 New York. If you like William Gibson, Richard K. Morgan, and fast-paced sci-fi techno-thrillers about artificial intelligence and social collapse, continue the Alice Yu series today!
