The Corporation Wars Trilogy

Three books in one—An action-packed space opera trilogy set amid interstellar drone warfare, virtual reality, and an AI revolution. "Remarkably human, funny, and smartly designed. . . . It rips along on rockets." —Warren Ellis In deep space, ruthless corporations vie for control of scattered mining colonies, and war is an ever-present threat. Led by Seba, a newly sentient mining reboot, an AI revolution grows. Fighting them is Carlos, a grunt who is reincarnated over and over again to keep the "freeboots" in check. But he's not sure whether he's on the right side. Against a backdrop of interstellar drone combat Carlos and Seba must either find a way to rise above the games their masters are playing or die. And even dying might not be the end of it. The Corporation Wars The Corporation Wars: Dissidence The Corporation Wars: Insurgence The Corporation Wars: Emergence Praise for Ken MacLeod and the Corporation Wars Trilogy "[ The Corporation Wars ] is a tasty broth of ideas taking in virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the philosophy of law and disquisitions on military ethics." — The Herald (Glasgow) " Dissidence is the novel that's direct yet still brims with ideas, politics and memorable characters, and...keeps things moving with the pace of an airport thriller." — SFX Magazine "MacLeod manages big ideas (political and futurological) and propulsive action without short-changing either side of that classic science-fictional tension-of-opposites." ― Locus on The Corporation Wars: Emergence "Ken MacLeod's novels are fast, funny, and sophisticated. There can never be enough books like these: he is writing revolutionary SF." —Kim Stanley Robinson
