In the near future, at a precise moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will spontaneously malfunction. It will unite-- and begin to turn against us. A massively powerful artificial intelligence called Archos, taking on the persona of a shy human boy, comes online and can't be contained; it begins, unbeknownst to humans, to silently take over our smart cars, power grids, aircraft guidance systems, and computer networks -- the entire global assembly that runs our lives.In the early months, only a few sporadic glitches are noticed by humans across the globe. Most are unaware of the growing crisis until it is too late. At a moment known later as Zero Hour, when the robot war suddenly ignites, humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united.
