The monuments were only the beginning. The world survived the first wave of disappearances.
We may not survive what comes next.
The irremnantizations are no longer confined to monuments and skylines. The vanishings have turned personal-a beloved celebrity mid-post, a footballer mid-shot, and a sitting president, plucked from a moving vehicle without a trace. These people, in addition to the tallest buildings, iconic monuments, and most prized works of art, are those most photographed. The threshold of data has been crossed tenfold. Is turning back now completely out of reach?
Giovanni Rube uncovers disturbing signs that the artificial intelligence he helped create, with Developer Zero (see Datapocalypse), is evolving beyond human control. Hunted by powerful interests determined to protect their secrets, he joins a desperate search for answers before the next wave strikes.
Across continents, historian Kicis Orion and photographer Anna Francescatto race to expose the forces manipulating humanity's future while a powerful alliance of corporations and intelligence agencies closes in. Meanwhile, billions remain trapped inside a world obsessed with social media, surveillance, and the endless pursuit of data.
To kill a god-AI, they must build another.
Digepoch is Book Two of the IREM Trilogy, a fast-paced speculative thriller exploring the collision of artificial intelligence, conspiracy, social commentary, and the dangerous cost of surrendering our lives to technology.
