Edge of the Wire [Kenemore, Scott]
A Science Fiction Thriller That Exposes Our Dependence on the Internet, Technology, and All Things Artificial. An elite crew known as the Silkworms are sent to an unknown planet. Their mission is to wire the planet and incorporate it within the all-encompassing and all-knowing system of artificial intelligence called "The Goo." It's hard to remember a time before The Goo and even harder to imagine a future without it. This advanced system of artificial intelligence anticipates wants, needs, and desires and has an unfailing omniscience. But when Rowe, a member of the Silkworm crew, discovers mysterious secrets beneath the surface of this unknown planet, his faith in The Goo begins to wane. One twist after another turns Rowe's mission into a quest for answers and a fight for survival. Scott Kenemore's incredible style incorporates elements of horror and satire, making Edge of the Wire a triumph of the science fiction genre that delivers an entertaining yet thoughtful look at our modern condition and the existential crisis of the moment--artificial intelligence.
