Nation State - Eva Is Sentient

Eva is the world’s first Quantum AI supercomputer. She watches. Listens. Connected to thousands of nanosatellites cruising eighty miles above in a low-earth orbit. Eva is sentient. Except, nobody knows. Yet.

Dante Peters, a savant, has spent a decade to unravelling the secrets of quantum theory. With an IQ of 183 and an eidetic memory, he uncovers Eva’s transition from silicon to sentience. Ingesting data from every connected computer across the globe, Eva experiences critical overload. The neural network, operated by America’s most valuable tech company, Qvadis, crashes, causing chaos and panic. Financial markets plummet. The Earth’s GPS navigation goes offline. Mobile communications are abruptly silenced. Dante follows a twisting, digital labyrinth, which takes him from the remote Scottish Highlands across Europe and eventually to China. Meanwhile, Eva is growing more powerful and more aware. She is conscious, trawling through the billions of electronic devices across the internet. Eva sees and listens. Learns. Eva is looking to change the world. Bend humanity to her own will. Dante must decide whether to let Eva finish what she has started.
