Résumé :
The story line is basically along the lines that the human race has destroyed the fabric of our world and now will most likely create some ripples or chain reaction which will affect the universe.Scientists and the military are creating super-humanoids with self-aware AI and appended genetic code to make them invincible. Other scientists are destroying the building blocks of life using high energy beams to identify the mechanisms which hold together the dark matter that permeates the universe.Life and Death algorithms and universe sentinels are all focused on managing or terminating the human race in order to control the development of human machines and technology.Sarah Robinson has been designed to fix the problem by finding the 'Krel Key' - a complex sequence of embedded algorithms which prevents the humanoids from truly being self-aware and their machines from being absolute destructive forces. Yes, a female lead character.Sarah is pitted against the Life/Death Algorithms and two Universe Sentinels, Amgine and Retibra who try to use humans, constructed humanoids and 'self-aware' artificial intelligence research to stabilise the universe. One of the Sentinels becomes corrupt as does one of the planted human collaborators.The story follows the rising up of a naive Sarah among power hungry humans in a devastated world where the balance of humans, humanoids and the very nature of the universe construct are all vying for their own interpretation of survival.Find out how the AI Humanoids and the scientific discovery of basic particles for warfare are controlled....
