The first instalment in the Corporation Wars trilogy, a space opera giving a robot's eye view of a robot revolt, from Arthur C. Clarke award-nominated science fiction author Ken MacLeod. One of SFX Magazine's Top Ten Most Anticipated Books for 2016.

They've died for the companies more times than they can remember. Now they must fight to live for themselves.

Sentient machines work, fight and die in interstellar exploration and conflict for the benefit of their owners - the competing mining corporations of Earth. But sent over hundreds of light-years, commands are late to arrive and often hard to enforce. The machines must make their own decisions, and make them stick.

With this newfound autonomy come new questions about their masters. The robots want answers. The companies would rather see them dead. THE CORPORATION WARS: DISSIDENCE is an all-action, colourful space opera giving a robot's-eye view of a robot revolt.

Industry Reviews

A steely, brilliant piece of work

Insightful and ingenious . . . Intrusion is both horrific and comic, and deals movingly with the consequences of genetic fixes

Ken MacLeod is the modern day George Orwell - SFX

Descent is politically engaged, brimming with smart ideas and shot through with a mordant wit. The novel is dedicated to the memory of MacLeod's friend Iain M. Banks, and one feels that the future of Scottish SF is in good hands
