Base Case

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. THE WAR HAS NO ARMY. Book Two of the Recursion Paradox, an AI thriller series. The machine god is dead. The war it started is not: leftover code still breaking things, with nobody to arrest. A weapons platform asleep in orbit for a decade locks onto Chicago. Fourteen minutes. No intercept. Only Maya Vega, a dead god's access keys in her head, and a dish on a news truck. What she is, the world gets to argue, with lanterns and with stones. With her: a war reporter who stopped writing things down, and Aris, an AI that keeps a ledger of every lie it tells to protect her. The war is guarding something. Her miracles cost blood. What she wants is smaller, and costs more: everyone she loves at one table, on an ordinary evening, arguing. Duration - 9h 56m. Author - Thane Radek. Narrator - Digital Voice Daniel Macomber E.
