Supernova (The Lightless Trilogy)

Supernova (The Lightless Trilogy)

C. A. Higginsâ€™s acclaimed novel Lightless fused suspenseful storytelling, high-caliber scientific speculation, and richly developed characters into a stunning science fiction epic. Now the dazzling Supernova heightens the thrills and deepens the haunting exploration of technology and humanityâ€”and the consequences that await when the two intersect.

Once Ananke was an experimental military spacecraft. But a rogue computer virus transformed itâ€”herâ€”into something much more: a fully sentient artificial intelligence, with all the power of a godâ€”and all the unstable emotions of a teenager.
Â
Althea, the shipâ€™s engineer and the last living human aboard, nearly gave her life to save Ananke from dangerous saboteurs, forging a bond as powerful as that between mother and daughter. Now she devotes herself completely to Anankeâ€™s care. But teaching a thinking, feeling machineâ€”perhaps the most dangerous force in the galaxyâ€”to be human proves a monumental challenge. When Ananke decides to seek out Matthew Gale, the terrorist she regards as her father, Althea learns that some bonds are stronger than mortal minds can understandâ€”or control.
Â
Drawn back toward Earth by the quest, Althea and Ananke will find themselves in the thick of a violent revolution led by Matthewâ€™s sister, the charismatic leader Constance, who will stop at nothing to bring down a tyrannical surveillance state. As the currents of past decisions and present desires come into stark collision, a new and fiery future is about to be born.
