opera

interstellar
drone

reality,
and
an
A.I.
revolution.
Carlos
is
dead.A
soldier
who
died
for
his
ideals
a
thousand
years
ago,
he's
been
reincarnated
and
conscripted
to
fight
an
A.I.
revolution
in
deep
space.
And
he's
not
sure
he's
fighting
for
the
right
side.
Seba
is
alive.By
a
fluke
of
nature,
a
contractual
overlap,
and
a
loop
in
its
subroutines,
this
lunar
mining
robot
has
gained
sentience.
Gathering
with
other
"freeboots,"
Seba
is
taking
a
stand
against
the
corporations
that
want
it
and
its
kind
gone.
Against
a
backdrop
of
warring
companies
and
interstellar
drone
combat,
Carlos
and
Seba
must
either
find
a
way
to
rise
above
the
games
their
masters
are
playing,
or
die.
And
even
dying
will
not
be
the
end
of
it.

Recenzii
"Dissidenceis
the
novel
that's
direct
yet
still
brims
with
ideas,
politics
and
memorable
characters,
and...
keeps
things
moving
with
the
pace
of
an
airport
thriller....
MacLeod's
most
entertaining
novel
to
date."
—SFX Magazine on The Corporation Wars: Dissidence
"[The Corporation Wars] is a kind of action-packedDirty DozenorSuicide Squadscenario . . . . MacLeod does many astonishing things here. Hecreates viable, believable multiplex interactions among so many different setsof characters, human and robot. His detailing of the non-human way of thinkingand speaking employed by the freebots is fun and exemplary . . . . He shows akeen hand with action sequences. And there is a generous amount of humor toleaven the otherwise dire and deadly consequences of the multi-front war."—Locus on The Corporation Wars: Dissidence
"[The Corporation Wars] hits the main vein of conversation about locks on artificial intelligence and living in simulations and exoplanetary exploitation and drone warfare and wraps it all into a remarkably human, funny, and smartly-designed yarn. It is, in fact, a king-hell commercial entertainment... It rips along on rockets."
—Warren Ellis
"Descentis politically engaged, brimming with smart ideas and shot through with a mordant wit. The novel is dedicated to the memory of MacLeod's friend Iain M. Banks, and one feels that the future of Scottish SF is in good hands"—Financial Times on Descent
"[The Corporation Wars] is a tasty broth of ideas taking in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the philosophy of law and disquisitions on military ethics."—The Herald (Glasgow) on The Corporation Wars
"For my money, Ken MacLeod is the current champion of the very smartest kind of New Space Opera... every variation on his themes produces something worth re-reading."
