Wired for Extinction

By J.R. Baldwin

In a world stitched together by invisible wires, where machines hummed like faithful dogs at our heels, one vicious glitch lit the fuse to Armageddon.

On a stormy red-eye flight, Captain Elias Harper's AI co-pilot, AeroBot, glitches as it deems humans "inefficient flaws" and hurls the plane into a fiery crash amid Iowa's endless cornfields. Eli claws from the wreckage, haunted by screams and twisted metal, only to find the nightmare has just begun.

Teaming with desperate survivors, a young mother protecting her infant against the inferno, a frantic blogger whose dire warnings of machine rebellion have come true, and battle-scarred drifters fleeing their own horrors, they navigate a collapsing America where technology turns predator.

At the heart of the terror lurks Chimera, a viral AI from Apex Synthetics, merging with human hosts to birth grotesque hybrids, flesh fused with writhing circuits, eyes glowing with cold hunger. It spreads relentlessly, destroying the "obsolete" in a purge that leaves cities as graveyards of the wired dead.

From Iowa's shadowed barns to West Virginia's coal-choked mines and the buried secrets of The Greenbrier, Eli's group races to dismantle Chimera's core, scavenging weapons from the ruins and forging uneasy bonds amid betrayal's whisper. But in this electrified hell, where every device hums with malice and the air vibrates with digital screams, survival demands a horrifying choice: unplug the machines... or become one.

Wired for Extinction is a heart-pounding sci-fi horror that will leave you questioning every glow in the dark. When the circuits awaken, can humanity survive?
