Five years after journalist Marcus Tully helped elect the artificial intelligence Solomon to rescue a planet in crisis, humanity is paying the price for salvation. Although the climate is beginning to recover, Solomon’s ruthless policies have sparked widespread suffering, rebellion, and sabotage—forcing the AI to issue an ultimatum: merge humanity with machine intelligence or return civilization to a pre-digital age. With only days to choose and every voter required to accept a chip, the world faces a final referendum on freedom, survival, and what it means to remain human. This provocative sequel explores the perilous intersection of environmental catastrophe, artificial intelligence, political power, and the limits of human choice.
