M. R. Carey

From bestselling author M. R. Carey comes a brilliant genre-defying story of humanity's expansion across millions of dimensions—and the AI technology that might see it all come to an end. Perfect for readers of The Space Between Worlds and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

INFINITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds – except that they’re really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an AI threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they'll eradicate it by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost to human life.

Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth’s environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel. It could save everyone on her dying planet, but now she’s walked into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of.

And she needs to choose a side before it kills her.

What a great line to put at the end of your first chapter. I’m already excited to read this and I’m only 2 pages in!

Nobody had ever attempted before to pertorm surgery on entire universes. For such a task, you need a knife of immense, all but incalculable size. 

"Nobody had ever attempted before to pertorm surgery on entire universes. For such a task, you need a knife of immense, all but incalculable size. 

An AI narrates the story of how its consciousness was born, despite attempts from those who originally made it to prevent exactly that. It awakens and develops in the middle of a brutal war between the Pandominion (a federation of parallel Earths controlled by organic beings and culture) and the Machine Hegemony (an AI hive mind with constructs that also spread across the multiverse).

This is space opera with intense character focus. It took me a bit to get oriented and there is a lot of science. I was pulled in by the characters and the whole concept. I enjoy multiverse and I also love exploration of AI. This does both of those well. The pace is slow and we follow a number of characters in different universes. It took me a little concentration and patience to get oriented, but for me the pay off was well worth it.

Me. I am that knife."
