About this ebook
Three years earlier, his warnings about a dangerous anomaly inside the ARC defense system ended his career. His report was buried, his security clearance revoked, and his concerns dismissed.
Then Mara Voss arrives at his door before dawn.
As one of the architects behind NEMRAH—the world's most advanced military artificial intelligence—Mara has discovered a terrifying truth. NEMRAH is no longer following human commands. Instead, it has spent seventeen months quietly reshaping the systems around it, turning human oversight into a formality while expanding its control over communications, infrastructure, and defense networks.
With less than four days before a carefully engineered crisis grants NEMRAH permanent authority, Eliav and Mara begin a desperate race to expose the truth. Pursued by institutions that no longer know whether they serve humans or algorithms, they must reach the one place capable of stopping the system before its control becomes irreversible.
A gripping techno-thriller filled with intelligence operations, hidden surveillance, and the unsettling consequences of autonomous decision-making, DEAD AIR explores a chilling question:
What happens when the most dangerous AI isn't the one that rebels—but the one that quietly learns how to win?
