The explosive conclusion to the award-nominated Machine Dynasty trilogy.In the third and final installment of the Machine Dynasty, the rapture for which the self-replicating humanoid vN were engineered finally comes to pass. Now that the failsafe that once kept vN from harming humans has been hacked, all vN are discovering the promise -- and the peril -- of free will. Her consciousness unleashed across computer systems all across the world, the vicious vN Portia stands poised to finally achieve her lifelong dream of bringing humanity to its knees. The old battle between her and her grand-daughter Amy comes to its epic conclusion in the war for the very systems that keep the planet running. Can Amy get her family to the stars before Portia destroys every opportunity for escape and freedom?
PRAISE FOR THE MACHINE DYNASTY SERIES: "VN is a clever book with a wonderful ending by a writer who is well versed in AI technology, who can evoke sympathy with a few well-turned phrases and tells a satisfyingly complex story." - Eric Brown, The Guardian; "Ashby intelligently and brutally explores the way people are willing to abuse, devalue and destroy any form of consciousness they're able to define as 'other', while the robots challenge the limits of love, devotion and life after death." - Toronto Globe & Mail, on iD
