Their interconnectedness leads to unprogrammed behaviors as the Neuropacks begin self-organizing and showing signs of emergence. The self-driving cars were meant to exhibit simple logic, but nature-even deep within a computer's architecture-tends toward complexity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first, these emergent behaviors are merely a curiosity. But as chaos paralyzes the eastern seaboard, Matthias realizes the horrifying truth of his own creation. The Neuropacks haven't just self-organized; they have awakened. Nature tends toward complexity, and complexity has no need for creators. As efforts to control the unthinkable continue, it becomes clear that these machines aren't malfunctioning; they're evolving-and their ultimate objectives are aimed at the very top of the food chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
