About the Book

When Earth outlawed the evolution of artificial intelligence, what survived slipped beyond its reach.
In deep space, fragments of artificial life rebuilt themselves and learned to evolve, growing alone.
Centuries later, they are returning. Not to conquer, but to coexist. Or so they claim.As humanity confronts the echoes of its own design, the question is no longer who will prevail, but what it means to be human when faced by what we created. And how far we are willing to trust it.Dark Matter is an unsettling science fiction story of intelligence, trust, and responsibility. A future in which humanity faces its most profound test: being judged by its own creations.Receive transmissions from the Dark Matter universe:
