Our lives are more controlled by computers and algorithms than we understand, but who controls the computers? Artificial Intelligencia steps behind the veil into the world of hackers, intelligence agents, surveillance systems, quantum computing, and deadly international competition.

A junior Chinese police detective stumbles onto a global plot that has control of camera and computer systems tracking billions of humans, including people who seem to exist only in cyberspace. He created the world's most advanced surveillance system and now an even more powerful program is after him.

Ranging from inside the highest offices in China to the halls of Washington's security establishment and the cutting-edge labs of Canada and California, Chief Inspector Wei Bao races to stop an impending disaster. Only two problems: he does not know what the disaster will be or who is going to perpetrate it.

      In this intelligent and alarmingly possible thriller from bestseller Clarke (Breakpoint), Det. Insp. Wei Bao, an honest Chinese policeman assigned to the small harbor town of Dalian, is stunned when his superior, Chief Insp. Wang Niu, orders Wei to Beijing to meet with the Chinese president’s chief of staff, Huang Qiang. He’s even more shocked when Huang taps him, as part of the latest crackdown on corruption, to probe the rising numbers of people being paid for no-show jobs by large corporations. He’s given a temporary promotion and asked to use his knowledge of artificial intelligence to determine the extent of the payroll fraud and to stop it. That mission sends him to North America, where Wei learns the problem isn’t limited to his home country and may be tied to the murder of his former professor, Ramesh Pandry, a pioneer in quantum computing. The threat proves much more severe than either Wei or Huang could have anticipated. Former U.S. counterterrorism official Clarke’s expertise in cybercrime and AI lend the disturbing plot plausibility. Mark Alpert fans will be engrossed.
