Publisher Description
An all-new digital single—part of the New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games!
The military-grade artificial intelligence known as Iona has only one week to live. After that, the UNSC will legally terminate her seven-year existence in order to stave off the threat of the data corruption phenomenon known as “rampancy,” a condition that will eventually take hold of her functionality and persona, endangering all those around her. In a last-ditch effort to save herself, Iona has successfully launched an unprecedented legal appeal against her own death sentence—a case being watched very closely at not only the highest levels of human government, but by others with a very different agenda…
Customer Reviews
A very interesting addition to Halo's ever expanding lore.
I was surprised by this book. I heard it was good but then after I read it I was pleasantly surprised. The twist at the end also was very cool.
poor Iona
불쌍한 아이오나 롤랑드랑 블랙박스에게 시뮬레이터 당하고 폐기 처분되었으니...
소설이 참 흥미롭게 시작한다. 인공지능이 재판을 받는 내용인데, 아이오나 자신이 어떻게 이름을 지었는지 왜 이런 모습을 선택했는지에 대해 나오면서 자신은 인간만이 할 수 있는 꿈을 꿨다고 말한다. 이 소설의 절반은 아이오나의 꿈 가지고 토론하는 얘기이다. 그 꿈은 직접 소설에서 확인하길 바란다.
Decent Halo Story
I’m a big Halo fan and this average Halo fare. Iona was a good character whom I liked and sympathized with. Some parts of her story were beautifully expressed. Still, the twist ending was an unpleasant jolt, imo.
