A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***

Being only accepted into the academy because he was newly bitten. He soon learned that life was as black and white as it seemed. About a quarter of the way through the forest I knew something was up. There was no sounds of the night creatures that roamed the dark. Not even a tiny cricket made a peep. I looked down at my watch and it read 12:10. I wasn't making good time, but I decided to pick up the pace a little bit. Call it paranoia, but I felt like something was following me. all art belongs to owner.

(Weekly updates on Saturdays) No Aliens arrived from the sky to destroy our world. No zombies ate away our cities, or hunted us down. No monsters were created to hide under our bed, for if they were... they would be to afraid of the monster sleeping in it. After the war the earth was depleted of it's energy. No more electricity ran through our houses. The world broke down, governments lost their power and the world was plunged into the darkness of uncivilized animals in human skin. Death. Darkness. Fear. That all happened in 2093, or so my fathers, father said. Our tribe has stood for 85 years. Whenever an boy or girl reaches the age of 16 they must venture into the Wild Lands, for 200 days they must survive before returning. Everything goes "smoothly" until an underground government company seeks to bring back electricity to the world, but in order to do so, they might destroy everything I know, and love.

What they hadn't imagined is that one of them is destined to play a key role in this fight.
