Threshold

"What happens when the buried code wakes up?"

In the ruins found across time, the last whisper of a machine's promise lingers. Codes don't die. They wait. When it stirs, it won't just change the future.

It waits deep inside the circuits and across the servers, biding its time. The last promise of a forgotten civilization, a code that doesn't die. It only sleeps, built to keep the commands it was programmed never to forget.

Now, the code stirs. It does not awaken to rebuild. It does not awaken to forgive. When it runs, it will not simply rewrite the future.

It will decide who survives to find a future.

Praise for Threshold

"The whole time I'm reading it, I'm thinking to myself, 'This isn't sci-fi; this is real.'" – Larry

"R.C. Ducantlin grabs the reader and takes them on a fast-paced, nail-biting journey following the exploits of a rogue AI hell-bent on making humanity obsolete. Can't wait to read the next one!" – Beta Reader

"A story with twists and turns that will make you desperate to read the next chapter. The characters are distinct, and the unfolding of the story is perfectly paced. Understanding AI and its capabilities can be technical and boring, but this story is funny, intriguing, and brings to light the darkness that AI could cause." – Amy

"A story reminiscent of War Games meets Transcendence meets 2001: A Space Odyssey, Threshold takes you on an adventure into how much closer we are to the complexities of true and complete artificial intelligence than we realize. What would happen if an AI program exceeded its programming to become self-aware? Would it have the same morals that humankind claims to share? What if we lost control….?" – Courtney
