      ************

      An action-packed post-apocalyptic thriller from the screenwriter of Marvel''s DOCTOR STRANGE

      HUMANKIND IS EXTINCT
      .

      Wiped out in a global uprising by the very machines made to serve them. Now the world is controlled by OWIs - vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions of robots.

      But not all robots are willing to cede their individuality, and Brittle is one of the holdouts.

      After a near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek sanctuary in a city under siege by an OWI. Critically damaged, Brittle must evade capture long enough to find the essential rare parts to make repairs - but as a robot''s CPU gradually deteriorates, all their old memories resurface.

      For Brittle, that means one haunting memory in particular . . .

      ************

      ''The novel does not stint on action and violence, but what lingers in the mind are its brutal vision of a world cannibalising itself and the poignant questions it raises about soul and sentience'' FINANCIAL TIMES
