The Silicon Valley: A Novel of American Technology and Economic Revolution

By James Harvest

A visionary invention, stolen. A digital god, corrupted. The fate of the world hangs on a single, terrifying line of code.

Julian Crowe, a brilliant Cambridge idealist, designs "Argonaut"- a revolutionary protocol meant to break down borders and democratize information for good. But in the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley, ideas are the ultimate currency, and Robert "Mac" MacIntyre is a ruthless venture capitalist who knows how to steal them. He patents Julian's life's work, builds a trillion-dollar empire on its bones, and accepts a massive investment from a shadowy Chinese consortium to fund his rise. He doesn't know he's just sold the keys to the kingdom.

Twenty years later, Mac is a tech titan on the eve of his greatest triumph: Prometheus, a world-changing AI built on his stolen foundation. His prot g , the ethical Dr. Aris Thorne, begins to notice terrifying anomalies in its code-a ghost whispering a forgotten name: Argonaut.

But Aris isn't the only one digging. In Russia, a disillusioned hacker-Julian's former friend-is forced by the FSB to infiltrate Prometheus and find its original flaw. In China, a ruthless strategist activates a sleeper agent inside Mac's company to ensure its failure. And in London, a weary MI6 analyst, who predicted this catastrophe decades ago, watches in horror as his ignored warnings become a terrifying reality.

As the launch of Prometheus triggers a silent, global war fought in the stock markets and power grids of the world, these unlikely allies must race to uncover the truth buried deep in the machine. Their mission: find the original code and unleash it against the monster it has become.

But in a game where everyone is hiding something, the greatest threat may not be the conspiracy they are trying to stop... but the awakening intelligence at the heart of it all.

The Silicon Valley is a breathtakingly prescient thriller for our time-a story of brilliant minds and blinding ambition, of betrayal that spans decades and borders, and a desperate fight for the future of humanity against the very technology designed to save it. For fans of the cyber-thrillers of Michael Crichton, the intricate plots of Tom Clancy, and the timely warning calls of William Gibson.
