Primitive Anarchy: Part 1: Reproduction

The US Department of Artificial Entities has just taken control of the most powerful intelligence on Earth: Architech Corporation's OMNIStack AI. Carved into the San Gabriel foothills above Pasadena, California, OMNI is housed in an enormous, maximum-security hangar dubbed The Barn, on the former site of Nobel laureate, CalTech professor, and true radical Neal Forrest Walcott's remote ranch.

As the largest hurricane ever to hit the West Coast makes landfall, the entire brain trust has just gone down in a plane crash.

Primitive Anarchy is an operatic and detailed techno-thriller charting the rise of a conscious military-industrial complex and the thirty-year conspiracy Professor Walcott and his underground team of premier international scientists flawlessly executed to challenge it.
