Global financial markets were in turmoil as supply chains ceased to function. The greatest propaganda campaign ever tore apart the fabric of society. Could China’s expansionist goals be contained?

In a lab deep in the heart of China, a brilliant engineer had a breakthrough. It was the most powerful AI ever created.
