The year is 2057. Humanity rebuilt after AI nearly wiped them out, but the scars remain: bio-engineered plagues and psychological disruption devices still linger in the shadows.
Meet Ian Phillips, a tech savant with a dangerous secret. Years before the global AI ban in 2040, he created QEAI, an artificial intelligence of unprecedented power. With QEAI's help, Ian invented the "Tangler," a device that can teleport inanimate objects across any distance. But when government regulators block his most ambitious innovation - the biological Tangler - Ian refuses to be stopped. He launches a global competition, daring the world to embrace his vision.
Instead, he reawakens a centuries-old conflict between Japan and China.
Returning home, Ian discovers a devastating case of amnesia. His life, and the lives of his two wives, plunge into chaos as hostile agents hunt him and his own government scrutinizes his every move. He must race against time to recover his memories and regain control of QEAI before it unleashes global destruction if he falls.
Ian dreads the all-out war his actions may have sparked, the confiscation of his AI, the collapse of his trillion-dollar company, and the ruin of his family. Can he unlock the secrets of his past before the future unravels?
A revelation of galactic proportions may prove to be his only savior.
