The Encoded

The breakout action packed, seductive series with a twist on the class "Man vs. Machine" theme is now collected in a 144 page trade paperback! The Encoded takes readers to the year 2055...the world runs on almost magical A.I. technology, but it came with a cost of following a messy war against the self-aware A.I. "AURELIUS", brought on by our own human shortcomings, humanity must now coexist alongside the disconnected, sentient robot creators of the dead cyber-god. They must endure never ending digital network shutdowns, triggered at random, to prevent future self-aware technology from being born, and in a world where every movement is tracked and recorded, these "Analog Protocol" shutdowns are a great time to settle scores. Now civilization is fractured between the hi-tech societies of their time, secret places where only machines dwell, and a growing movement of people forsaking any post-internet era technology know as the ANCHORITES.
