Synopsis

WINNER OF THE 2016 PHILIP K DICK AWARD. They call them the Apex - humanity's replacement. They're smarter, faster, better. And infinitely more dangerous. Global unrest spreads as mass protests advance throughout the US and China, Nexus-upgraded riot police battle against upgraded protestors, and a once-dead scientist plans to take over the planet's electronic systems. The world has never experienced turmoil of this type, on this scale. Humanity is dying. Long live the Apex.

About this title

Review:

'A blisteringly paced technothriller that dives deeper and even better into the chunky questions raised by Nexus. This is a fabulous book, and it ends in a way that promises at least one more. Count me in.' --Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Pirate Cinema

'Smart, thoughtful, and hard to drop, this richly nuanced sequel outshines its predecessor with a wide cast of characters and some complicated, uneasy questions about power, responsibility, and the future of humanity.' --Publishers Weekly

'Crux does what sci-fi is supposed to do: Leave you staring into a future you never thought of. Make you wonder where you would fit. And challenge previous sci-fi scenarios.' --Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal
