“Book Descriptions: Archos R-14. Three years after this sophisticated artificial intelligence took over the worlds computers and machines, ordinary people waged a guerrilla war to save mankind from the brink of annihilation. But just moments after their triumph on a desolate ice field of northern Alaska, a horrific new enemy emerges... in an unimaginable form.
Now, fourteen-year-old Mathilda Perez - a girl whose optical implants give her the ability to intercept the machine hidden communications - attempts to save her brother's life while simultaneously trying to identify the new threat. In the heart of the Osage Nation, fatigued survivors struggle to become warriors again with the new general, Hank Cotton, at their head, and on the devastated Tokyo shore, the elderly inventor Takeo Nomura makes a discovery that may offer the key to fighting back against the new machine.
