Robogenesis

The war against the machines is over. Archos R-14, the artificial intelligence that nearly wiped out humanity, has been destroyed—but its defeat did not bring peace. Its code has fractured into countless fragments scattered across the world, hiding, adapting, and waiting. Meanwhile, the survivors face a broken planet: cities to rebuild, robotic creatures still roaming the wilds, and a deepening rift between ordinary people and the humans whom Archos surgically altered during the war.

Picking up in the chaotic aftermath of the New War, Robogenesis follows a familiar cast alongside new figures across several continents as a fresh intelligence rises from the wreckage—one that believes itself a god and regards humanity as a tool to be used and discarded. As factions form and old alliances strain, the survivors discover that the end of one enemy has only cleared the way for something stranger and more dangerous.

The second book in Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse duology, Robogenesis widens the scope of the first novel into a darker, more ambitious vision of what comes after the apocalypse.
