It was always about life and death in Silicon Valley. The future is about a fight for the soul. But in a world of drones, robotics, AI and quantum, there is a more powerful emerging technology. And it is here now ready for the final battle.

ANN BRIDGES places characters from her previous novels into a twist of science-fiction as a start-up faces disastrous consequences when their company's chatbot goes rogue. The novella is a searing indictiment of the current state of Silicon Valley and the ungodly chase for power, ego, and greed through the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technologies. In comparison to previous iterations of the technology that made this region famous, the conclusion is simple: Silicon good, Slick and Con evil.

Co-authored with her husband of many decades and steeped through their Christianity, the strength of faith, hope and love in humanity's potential to face this final conflict is carried through their message, bearing witness to a power far greater than mankind.
