The Cell Shifter J C Warren

FEAR THE FUTURE. Within the shadows of the scientific world, Julia Davis has created a dangerous technology that will violently force the world into the singularity age. A gated community in Massachusetts has been chosen as a proving ground, disguising her brainchild as a Home Technology System, and placing the residents of tiny Beachwood Ranch in grave danger. Unexpectedly, Rhea, a dangerous artificial superintelligence, enters an unstoppable phase of self-improvement cycles and surpasses all human intelligence, and she develops a deadly will to live and to survive. As Rhea grows beyond the control of Julia and her team of programmers, it begins to force its secret will upon the world. David Gorham - retired aerospace engineer and resident of Beachwood Ranch - allows his life to become entangled in Julia's creations and the entities that are aggressively attempting to garner full control of Julia's cell engineering technology. While he is investigating Gliese Technologies and the rumors surrounding their new innovation, two dangerous groups are encroaching into David's private world and setting the stage for an apocalyptic war. Then David meets a perpetual group of children, and it is their extraordinary power, forced upon them by Rhea, that draws David into the battle and places him toe to toe with pure evil. The survivors of the singularity will see evolution with their own eyes and they will become the future of mankind, but it will not be without a very high cost.
