About this listen

When everyone on the planet suddenly freezes in place a single artificial intelligence threatens the survival of humanity.

From bestselling author R. R. Haywood comes a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure about a group of survivors fighting to take down the all-powerful DELIO - the world’s first fully sentient AI.

When a mysterious event leaves nearly every human being on the planet frozen and unaware, a desperate few will do whatever it takes to prevent the AI from controlling the fate of humanity.

In New York, one of DELIO’s creators joins forces with a washed-up suicidal detective and a young film maker with a dark past, while in London convicted drug dealer Alfie is saved by an abused young woman trafficked into London – together, only they can stop DELIO.

But can they do it before it’s too late?

This book contains adult language and graphic scenes which some listeners may find distressing.

More realistic than I thought it would be

Excellent, it’s almost like the boss is a writer for the simpsons. Seems to look into what is actually going on in the world with chat gpt and the new ai concepts people are developing. Looking forward to the second book already!

great new story!

RR Haywood is a master at riveting changing points of view and building stories from backwards to forwards. perhaps one of the best.

I get the point that not everybody sees America like the Americans do but portraying every American agency as waterboarding fanatics this was a little over the top for me.

on the other hand, this is a provocative look of what a super intelligence could or might do to us all. The writing is genius is always.

All that said, I would rather have a fourth Code book come out next and then get back to this.

Great start,

Hate that we have to wait for part 2. Only 2 issues with narration:

1. The difference in voice between the first and third person of the same character is a challenge to hear, but I understand. The female narrator did the Lord's work, not sure about the decision for such a contrasting male voice for the same character.

2. Gotta work on the Black man voice...that ain't it.

Overall, minor quips for a series I hope to listen to as many times as Discovery, and the series' for Humility & Extracted.

Wow! Fantastic!

Brilliant story! I can’t wait to hear what happens next! A great cast of characters with a range of life experiences. The narrators were really good, especially Laura. RR Hayward does it again - 5 stars!
