Project Shenzhen by Erik Hamre

After decades of copying the West, China is tired of being a follower.

Deep inside China’s desolate landscape, a clandestine operation is developing a new Artificial Intelligence when an explosion rocks the valley.

Project Shenzhen is China’s answer to the Manhattan Project, and General Chin-Yee will stop at nothing in his pursuit to make China the dominant world power.

At an Australian university, legendary Artificial Intelligence scientist Shaun Little is toiling with research into long-abandoned AI theories when a string of gifted students starts committing suicide.

A new arms race is on.

And the winner may one day rule the world.
