Produktbeschreibung

When an alien visitor leaves behind an artefact on Earth, its impact aeons later is far-reaching and potentially devastating.
An NSA cryptographer realizes that it can imprint Artificial Intelligence onto computer hardware. No longer concerned with 'Could they access the artefact?' ... Nathaniel Marx wonders 'Should they?'...

When Nathaniel disappears, his family are left with no answers, save for a couple of secret deliveries from beyond the grave. Now, with unimaginable and unseen forces in pursuit of the artefact, it falls to his son, Jacob, to decide the fate of the planet, and perhaps beyond ...

A gripping, cautionary tale about thinking machines and the human spirit, Nautilus holds up a mirror to an ever-expanding technology and consumer-driven society where the consumers are also the slaves.

As mankind races to create artificial life ... is it stopping to consider the terrible consequences?
