The Awakening of Artemis
The Awakening of Artemis
by John Calia
Genre: Dystopian
Orphaned
and disillusioned about her career, Diana Gutierrez-Adams is on a
routine military assignment when she and her team are kidnapped by a
domestic militia. She learns from her captors that her
cryogenically-frozen grandfather is at the center of a high-stakes
caper to steal technology for greed and great fortune. Challenged by
the conspiracy and pulled by emotions she doesn’t fully understand,
Diana begins a rescue mission that will change her life.
Set
in 2049 America -- a world where the elites make all the rules and
artificial intelligence enforces them – the real danger is that the
technology will be lost in the ensuing chaos. With her life under
threat, Diana is forced into a desperate bid to escape, taking with
her Gabrielle, her soulmate and the one person she knows she can
trust.
To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them
at every turn, Diana and Gabrielle must outsmart the global
monitoring systems that tracks their every move. On a trail littered
with the dystopian remains of middle-class America, they will come
face-to-face with an artificial intelligence that threatens the
future of all humankind.
What happens to her is unexpected,
perhaps miraculous – an adventure that embraces all her hopes for
finding her true self and her place in a world dominated by powerful
elites and even more powerful artificial intelligence.

This has a cool cover, perfect for this dystopian read. I love that her grandfather is cryogenically-frozen. Such a unique story line.
ReplyDelete2049 is not all that far away. Makes you wonder.
ReplyDeleteYhe tit le really intrigues me. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSet in 2049 America, e are almost there! Love it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a scary picture of the future, but I really wish this type of story would be set further out. There are too many instances when something is written in what seems a distant time, but it is reached and most of the things (science, appliances, social change, etc.)either never happened or are still in development stage.
