Description

Autonomous by Annalee Newitz is a thought-provoking novel that explores the intersection of technology and humanity. In a world where biotech and AI have advanced to the point of near-singularity, a young woman named Jack uses her skills as an anti-patent scientist to create cheap medicines for those who cannot afford them. However, when Jack's latest creation becomes addictive, it sets off a chain reaction of events that puts her on the run from powerful forces. Pursued by a military agent and his robotic partner, Jack must navigate a complex web of intrigue and deception in order to uncover the truth about her creation and its sinister consequences. As the stakes grow higher, Jack's actions raise fundamental questions about what it means to be free in a world where everything - including people - can be owned.
