Negara was supposed to be a utopia.

This is where the robots were made. Where machines cater to every whim. It is also where the powerful plunder the streets as their droids build bridges, erect buildings, and bend civilization to their will.

Seventeen-year-old Georgina Madalo is hell-bent on becoming a space pilot and getting the heck away from this mess.

Her problems? First, a tyrannical mother who created a sentient artificial superintelligence. It can control the robots, that’s for sure. But it’ll also control everything else, including, you know, Us. The humans on a planet run by giant droids.

Next problem? The infuriating, inconveniently charming Ceriel Droksik. The country’s star robotics engineer, Ceriel stole her mom’s AI and plans to release it—even though that’d pretty much render humankind obsolete.
No big deal. Just the robot apocalypse, dear.

Too bad Georgina and Ceriel love to hate each other, and their relationship sits somewhere between “I’ll cut you” and “It’s complicated.”

Tasked to retrieve the dangerous AI, Georgina will discover the truth. Alien war fleets are scouring the galaxy, and Earth has hit their radar. Ceriel believes Negara’s robot defenses and the AI to control them are the population’s only hope for survival. The math: Georgina could let the robots run the show, defeating the aliens and saving everyone—and in doing so, turning humankind into the robots’ prey and losing any hope of leaving Earth. Or she could stop the AI and risk humans fighting the aliens on their own.

Fun times, everyone.
