Reviews
"With clever invention and astute observation popping from every paragraph, Machinehood takes you on a thrilling ride through a gritty, panoramic future that showcases intelligence in all its manifestations, humanity in all its potentialities, the infinite grace of ourselves as well as of our creations." -- Ken Liu , author of The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories "From the opening manifesto to its ingenious technologies, Machinehood builds an inspiring and believable vision of the future that is both thought-provoking and hopeful. It will leave you wishing that tomorrow could arrive a little sooner." -- Ray Kurzweil , bestselling author, pioneering inventor, and renowned futurist * "This stunning near-future thriller from Divya ( Runtime ) tackles issues of economic inequality, workers' rights, privacy, and the nature of intelligence. . . . Crack worldbuilding and vivid characters make for a memorable, page-turning adventure, while the thematic inquiries into human and AI labor rights offer plenty to chew on for fans of big idea sci-fi. Readers will be blown away." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "A fantastic big-idea thriller, with plenty of action, and substantive, important perspectives on what the future might look like." -- Malka Older , author of Infomocracy , and the Hugo-finalist Centenal Cycle "Divya has created a richly imagined and eerily familiar world . . . confronting urgent questions about humans' place in a society increasingly run by AIs." -- Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
Zero Dark Thirty meets The Social Network in this "clever...gritty" (Ken Liu, author of The Grace of Kings ) science fiction thriller about artificial intelligence, sentience, and labor rights in a near future dominated by the gig economy--from Hugo Award nominee S.B. Divya. Welga Ramirez, executive bodyguard and ex-special forces, is about to retire early when her client is killed in front of her. It's, 2095 and people don't usually die from violence. Humanity is entirely dependent on pills that not only help them stay alive but allow them to compete with artificial intelligence in an increasingly competitive gig economy. Daily doses protect against designer diseases, flow enhances focus, zips and buffs enhance physical strength and speed, and juvers speed the healing process. All that changes when Welga's client is killed by The Machinehood, a new and mysterious terrorist group that has simultaneously attacked several major pill funders. The Machinehood operatives seem to be part human, part machine, something the world has never seen. They issue an ultimatum: stop all pill production in one week. Global panic ensues as pill production slows and many become ill. Thousands destroy their bots in fear of a strong AI takeover. But the US government believes the Machinehood is a cover for an old enemy. One that Welga is uniquely qualified to fight. Welga, determined to take down the Machinehood, is pulled back into intelligence work by the government that betrayed her. But who are the Machinehood, and what do they really want? A "fantastic, big-idea thriller" (Malka Older, Hugo Award finalist for The Centenal Cycle series) that asks: if we won't see machines as human, will we instead see humans as machines?
