Oppsummering:

After an AI leader was elected to save the planet from environmental destruction, humanity now faces an even deadlier threat in the explosive sequel to Artificial Wisdom.

Five years have passed since journalist Marcus Tully single-handedly swung the results of a global election. To give humanity a chance in a world spiraling out of control with climate change, Tully released a last-minute report that discredited Lockwood, the human candidate. Instead, humanity ceded global control to Solomon, an artificial intellect—a being that Tully fully believed was capable of making the tough choices that would allow humanity to survive. Until he learned just how ruthless Solomon could be in pursuit of his goals.

The world might be slowly recovering, but humanity is suffering—and rebelling—under Solomon’s strictures. Solomon was far from a unanimous choice, and resentment is running high.

As acts of sabotage and civil disobedience increase, a disgusted Solomon offers humanity one last Upgrade or Unplug. Upgrade means irrevocably merging with artificial intelligence as a way of deleting the destructive nature of the species. Unplug will brick every chip, including Solomon himself, and humanity will begin again in a pre-digital age. Humanity has eighteen days to decide before civilization tips over into complete anarchy. One vote. No appeal. Individuals must be chipped to vote, and a simple majority wins.

How will humanity vote this time? And how much choice do they actually have?
