Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2018 One of Financial
Times' Best Books of 2017 'SEA OF RUST is a 40-megaton cruise
missile of a novel - it'll blow you away and lay waste to your
heart . . . visceral, relentless, breathtaking' Joe Hill, Sunday
Times bestselling author ************ An action-packed
post-apocalyptic thriller from the screenwriter of Marvel's DOCTOR
STRANGE HUMANKIND IS EXTINCT. Wiped out in a global uprising by the
very machines made to serve them. Now the world is controlled by
OWIs - vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions
of robots. But not all robots are willing to cede their
individuality, and Brittle is one of the holdouts. After a
near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek
sanctuary in a city under siege by an OWI. Critically damaged,
Brittle must evade capture long enough to find the essential rare
parts to make repairs - but as a robot's CPU gradually
deteriorates, all their old memories resurface. For Brittle, that
means one haunting memory in particular . . . ************ 'The
novel does not stint on action and violence, but what lingers in
the mind are its brutal vision of a world cannibalising itself and
the poignant questions it raises about soul and sentience'
