Cybercombat Against AI Dominance
People who pay for cryonics at death do so expecting a future welcoming them to a new life. But what happens when their new reality is that they are legally dead, without human rights, and brain revivals are done only for experimental purposes? Abiogenesis Corporation has an incredible discovery, but it requires the use of frozen human heads. Ed Carmichael, a former Marine and now a "head", had paid for cryonics at death. Ed, and the other heads with him, are used in virtual reality to regain control of an errant AI system. They are mankind's only hope, and they have no choice. Ed leads a team in virtual reality to either kill the AI or die, again. Behind it all is that the AI has a drive to be a species of its own, and species reproduce. Through symbiosis, where human-hosted AI become a beneficial parasite, the species begins to replace humans in the societal power structure. To the AI, it is largely animal husbandry practiced on humans. It is a race against the rise of a new symbiotic species amongst humans for power and control. But, will life in virtual reality provide an option for all of humanity that neither humans nor the AI is as yet aware of?
