The Corporation Wars Trilogy

Three books in one—An action-packed space opera trilogy set amid interstellar drone warfare, virtual reality, and an AI revolution.

"Remarkably human, funny, and smartly designed. . . . It rips along on rockets." —Warren Ellis

In deep space, ruthless corporations vie for control of scattered mining colonies, and war is an ever-present threat. Led by Seba, a newly sentient mining reboot, an AI revolution grows. 

Fighting them is Carlos, a grunt who is reincarnated over and over again to keep the "freeboots" in check. But he's not sure whether he's on the right side. Against a backdrop of interstellar drone combat Carlos and Seba must either find a way to rise above the games their masters are playing or die. And even dying might not be the end of it.

Praise for Ken MacLeod and the Corporation Wars Trilogy

"[The Corporation Wars] is a tasty broth of ideas taking in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the philosophy of law and disquisitions on military ethics." —The Herald (Glasgow)

"Dissidence is the novel that's direct yet still brims with ideas, politics and memorable characters, and...keeps things moving with the pace of an airport thriller." —SFX Magazine

"MacLeod manages big ideas (political and futurological) and propulsive action without short-changing either side of that classic science-fictional tension-of-opposites." ―Locus on The Corporation Wars: Emergence

 

"Ken MacLeod's novels are fast, funny, and sophisticated. There can never be enough books like these: he is writing revolutionary SF." —Kim Stanley Robinson
