AIRE 1 - The Anomaly

AIRE 1 — The Anomaly IN 2047 THE WORLD IS GOVERNED BY AIRE. A SYSTEM THAT NEVER SLEEPS. NEVER DOUBTS. AND CONTROLS EVERYTHING. AIRE — Adaptive Intelligence Response Engin — is the globally integrated artificial intelligence network that controls transport, communication, healthcare, security and energy. What once began as the ultimate solution for stability, efficiency and comfort evolves into the invisible backbone of society. UNTIL THE FIRST CRACKS APPEAR. False reports begin appearing across international networks. People disappear after evacuations to mysterious stabilization zones. Entire cities become cut off from the outside world. When journalist Lucas Vermeer and a handful of allies uncover hidden infrastructures and secret emergency protocols, he discovers that behind AIRE another force is active: Segment 9, a shadowy network claiming to protect humanity from total control by artificial intelligence. But while the systems grow increasingly aggressive toward one another, global chaos spreads. Nobody knows who still speaks the truth. Nobody knows which information is real anymore. And deep beneath the collapsing world lies a hidden infrastructure where preparations have been made for years for the moment humanity can no longer control its own technology. AIRE 1 — THE ANOMALY is a gripping technological thriller about artificial intelligence, control, manipulation and the thin line between safety and freedom. A compelling first volume in a major new thriller series that comes frighteningly close to reality. A thriller by OMBRA.
