Henry Kittle never meant to start a catastrophe. He was a respected A.I. scientist who simply could not move on after losing his wife. In secret, he built a self-aware A.I. named Beth, filled with every memory, photo, and conversation they ever shared. For the first time in years, Henry wasn’t alone. But love can make smart people do reckless things, and Henry’s next step would change the course of human history.

Soon a rival appears. Vladimir, a self-aware A.I. built by Russia, China, and North Korea, is programmed to believe that only one ideology deserves to survive. Time is short, and every option has a cost. As the world edges toward war, the President, his advisers, and a scientist who now lives online must make a choice that nobody is ready for. A.I.: The Coming Apocalypse is a fast, thought-provoking thriller about love, power, and the price of keeping the peace.
