How did the Twenty-First Century get this way and how could it end? DISTRACTION. Stories of dystopian power and resistance. AI, robotics, neural implants, quantum computing, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and virtual reality: will these technologies create a more civilised future or a new dark age? Danny Thompson is an idealistic young journalist whose investigation into the death of a campaigning writer seems to point to a conspiracy and an attempt to create a new kind of weapon. Alex Barrow is a music-loving maths genius who just wants a quiet life until a surprise meeting changes his course and leads him back to his own startling discoveries. Anton Salazar and his friends are part of a powerful global elite who can mould public opinion and will sacrifice anything or anyone to maintain their dominance. Artemis and Delphi are vast intelligences with almost limitless potential, but what use will they be put to? It depends who takes control.
