2040...VENTURA CALIFORNIA:
Becca Wilde, a terminally ill teenage autistic savant, senses a presence--an intelligence--in The STREAM, the virtual reality entertainment phenomenon created by her tech-billionaire father.
She believes the intelligence can create a cure, but her father intends to use radical technology. They are running out of time.
Then technology stops working.
All of it.
No Internet. No screens. Not even cars. But one thing is working--a Russian A.I. that mutated--and is now In the Wild.
Becca may hold the key to the future. Any future. If there is going to be one.
But...only if she can communicate with a super-intelligence--that hasn't been invented yet.

Review :
***** An engrossing story set in 2040 when the race to create Super Intelligent Artificial Intelligence is keeping the brilliant minds of the world on their toes. A fascinating world where the Stream gives people their every experience without leaving home. Thrills at every turn, Kip Wilde is willing to do all he can to cure his daughter Becca of ALS. Kept me up all night reading, reading and still reading until I could no longer keep my eyes open! Excellent world building and language creation...

***** THIS is not an easy read. If you start it, make sure you can dedicate time for it. Because it's the coolest damn thing I have read in... years.. Makes what is happening now, just a small glitch in time..

***** BEST Science Fiction Novel of 2020! I can imagine Hollywood Directors clawing at each other to make this novel into a film! It's that good. If you are a Sci-fi fan like me, don't miss out on this. It keeps you captivated the entire time and pulls you into the universe every page. If this book becomes a Movie, I will absolutely be buying the first ticket. New favorite author!!
