The robots rule earth. The girl only known as reject #5642 doesn't own her name, she doesn't own her body and she doesn't see a future on the artificial island she grew up on. After a chance encounter with a new reject-boy and unearthing her true mother's slave collar, she is lead on a path to discover more about herself than she could possibly imagine.

In a desperate hunt across the ruins of America #5642, her sister and a reject-boy called Hunter must out run the Artificial Intelligences and the cyborg's known only as 'The Continuity'. The same ones who master minded the robot apocalypse 20 years ago. To succeed she must discover the meaning of the resistance plan 'Destiny Rising' and the only key she has is her human birth name.

A Time of Useful Consciousness
Trapped on an endless Transatlantic flight and hunted across cabins an escape is sought; meanwhile on the ground the world is changing into something even more terrifying. A hard-sci novel of machine learning, politics and first contact gone wrong. ---- For anyone interested I wrote a post-mortem of sorts about writing this story: https://medium.com/@friedrichcainer/i-wrote-a-book-and-it-was-awful-dd592278e8dfComplete
