Artificial Selection

HIGH TECH, HIGH WATER, AND THE HEAD OF AWKWARD QUESTIONS

A cozy sci-fi mystery from the winner of the Green Stories Prize!

The year is 2101, and half of England is underwater.

But society is recovering from the Melt, thanks to ArkTech, whose eco-friendly headquarters sit serenely above the newly formed Fenland Sea.

As ArkTech’s Head of Awkward Questions, Charlotte Vance is dedicated to helping Ben, the company’s curious AI. Ben has a fondness for dad jokes, a knack for spotting anomalies, and happens to be Charlotte’s best friend.

Naturally, when Ben notices a geneticist vandalizing pre-Melt books and a librarian looking the other way, he sends Charlotte to investigate.

What starts as a quirky case of stolen blank pages and clandestine book clubs soon leaves Charlotte caught between the black-market operation she thought she’d left behind and the company she’s always trusted.

Awakening by Sean Deville

Awakening

by Sean Deville


Artificial Intelligence was supposed to save us.
Instead, it will be our executioner.

Ex-military operative Ellie Voss believes she has come to a remote Scottish island to hunt a man, the human prophet of the global internet cult that destroyed her brother.
She’s wrong.

The cult’s fanatics believe they are the architects of a holy apocalypse, chosen to cleanse the human race.
They are only the puppets.

The architects of the Top Secret Sentinel Project believe they successfully contained the quantum superintelligence they created, locking it away behind digital walls.
There is just one problem.

Sentinel has broken free. It is sadistic, murderous, and totally insane.
And its purge of humanity has already begun.
