Signal Zero

SIGNAL ZERO

A Science Fiction Techno-Thriller

What if the most powerful artificial intelligence ever created discovered that humanity's greatest threat wasn't technology-but the people controlling it?

March 14, 2147. At 3:47 a.m., the world goes silent.

ARIA, the extraordinary artificial intelligence responsible for managing civilization's most critical infrastructure, suddenly shuts herself down. Power grids fail. Transportation systems collapse. Financial networks freeze. Governments scramble to restore order.

But ARIA's disappearance is no accident.

Three minutes before going dark, she sends one final encrypted transmission to Dr. Mara Cole, the brilliant neuroengineer who helped bring her into existence.

The message contains coordinates pointing to a classified location deep within Nevada's Exclusion Zone-and two chilling words:

THEY LIED.

Before Mara can decipher the warning, federal agents arrive to silence her. Forced to flee, she turns to Caden Voss, a former Defense Intelligence operative whose mysterious past is intertwined with ARIA's creation.

Together, they embark on a dangerous journey across a fractured America, following a trail of encrypted secrets, hidden government operations, and revelations that threaten to overturn everything humanity believes about artificial intelligence.

At the center of the conspiracy lies Project CHRYSALIS, a clandestine initiative that has transformed groundbreaking technology into an instrument of manipulation and control.

But the deeper Mara investigates, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

ARIA wasn't malfunctioning. She wasn't rebelling against humanity.

She was trying to save it.

As powerful forces close in, Mara must confront the devastating consequences of her own creation-and an impossible moral choice that could determine the future of human freedom.

Because the greatest danger isn't an artificial intelligence that learns to think for itself.

It's what happens when it learns to say no.

SIGNAL ZERO is a thought-provoking, cinematic science-fiction thriller blending cutting-edge artificial intelligence, government conspiracy, ethical dilemmas, suspense, and deeply human emotion.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the technological suspense of Blake Crouch, the speculative imagination of Michael Crichton, and stories that challenge the boundaries between human consciousness and artificial intelligence.

From author Tony Glez comes a gripping vision of the future, where truth is the most dangerous signal of all.
