Read The Mall: Book 1 in the Series
Here’s the gist of my 2022 novel The Mall, the first book in the series:
Dana Vasquez is a former SWAT officer in the Boston area, kicked off the force for exacting revenge on her sister’s abusive ex-husband. Between raising a teenage daughter and working two jobs, Dana has a lot on her plate. So she’s less-than-thrilled to discover her daughter is hanging out at Meadowview with her troublemaking friend, Tess.
Dana arrives at the mall with one mission in mind: to find her errant daughter and bring her home. But when Meadowview’s service androids turn murderous, an ordinary holiday outing turns into a survival situation for mother and daughter alike.
My advice is to start with The Mall while also subscribing to the newsletter. That way, you can read the first book and share your thoughts about future books in the series. You’ll get a steady stream of humans-versus-machines fictional goodness. So don’t delay!
Machines Versus Humans: A True Story?
We are witnessing a kind of Cambrian explosion in artificial intelligence.
Over the past year or so, AI has begun to perform tasks and solve problems we never thought possible. And at the current rate of advancement, some experts believe we could see an AI superintelligence within the next few decades (something we have little chance of controlling).
These events have generated renewed interest in the humans-versus-machines subgenre of science fiction. Sentient machines. Superintelligent AI. Killer robots and rogue androids. These concepts and themes could begin to dominate the sci-fi genre over the coming years.
But you don’t have to wait.
You can jump into the humans-versus-machines fray right now, by reading The Mall. That’s where it all begins, in the world’s second-biggest shopping mall.
- If you like the idea of rogue AI and murderous machines…
- If you enjoyed The Terminator and The Matrix and Ex Machina…
- If the idea of a “superintelligent” AI scares the crap out of you…
- If you like to root for scrappy humans over powerful machines…
You’ll probably love the Machine Wars book series.
And I can’t wait to have you onboard!
