Synopsis

Jace is a SPI, an artificial intelligence that flawlessly imitates the human appearance. Jace was built to serve. But when his creator shows his true colors, Jace will have to decide whether to follow his duty-or fulfill his destiny.

Jace has just awoken as one of the very first SPIs-artificially intelligent, human-form androids designed to obey their maker's every whim. The greatest creations of megacorporation SpecTec, SPIs are the answer to all of humanity's problems-or so says Lance, the company's enigmatic owner and de facto leader of the world.

But when Jace is fired from his job and replaced by a newer SPI model, Jace must learn to fend for himself in the human world. As Jace learns more about human society, sinister truths behind his creation begin to emerge. But Lance never planned for Jace to think for himself. Never planned for him to change. Never planned for him to fight back. 

Now on the run, Jace must outsmart droves of robot assassins and join an underground resistance to save the people and A.I.s in his city before it's too late.

A high-speed dystopian adventure, The SPI Who Saved Humanity is a meteoric thrill ride from beginning to end. From the mind of TikTok lightsaber stunt sensation, J.L. Ramirez, this unputdownable debut is the perfect next read for fans of Claudia Gray and the I, Robot film franchise. A journey through a future where A.I. is both omnipresent and a tool of society's corporate overlords, it is a timely story-and a sober caution for a future that may come sooner than we think.
