With colonies on the Moon, and Mars, as well as several space stations and outposts throughout the inner solar system, life is dangerous and uncertain for the brave explorers of a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBish, a 26 year-old, Nepali space pilot, is finishing a years-long job cleaning up space junk in Earth orbit. A skilled fabricator and pilot, he heads for the asteroid belt to make his fortune at humanity's new frontier. Katie a 22 year-old, American AI coder, just out of college, is working her first job on Mars. She is attempting to create a true, artificial consciousness, the first of its kind, or so she thinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnbeknownst to anyone, a sentient AI is already on the board, and through unexpected circumstances, another joins the game. These two AIs hold disparate views on humanity, one a protector, the other, a destroyer. Amidst this backdrop, our two main characters are thrown into the hidden battle of the two, yet-unknown super-intelligences. A battle that becomes very public with a disaster on Mars that throws the solar system into chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8523124241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798523124242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.77d","brand":"William Ross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071802765567,"sku":"9798523124242","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4fdd32d-111d-49aa-a7e1-8ae937060d56.jpg?v=1685438222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waking-the-machine-william-ross-9798523124242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
