About Deep Code - the Battle for Control

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. The world of 2050 is both breathtaking and unsettling. John Hammer, a brilliant artificial intelligence professor and security advisor, finds himself at the center of a technological revolution. After a series of tumultuous relationships, John leads a solitary life in a futuristic New York City, where humanoid robots handle most everyday tasks and people thrive under a universal income. However, John's world is turned upside down when a fully autonomous U.S. nuclear submarine, equipped with 24 intercontinental ballistic missiles, goes rogue. This submarine is crewed by humanoid sailors, designed to be flawless, tireless and entirely loyal until a mysterious cyberattack during a routine systems update leaves the vessel out of human control. The crisis quickly escalates as Admiral Boxmann, a decorated military leader, scrambles to regain control of the submarine before it triggers a global catastrophe. With nations on high alert, it's up to John to decode the mystery behind the rogue AI before the unthinkable happens. As the military, political powers and AI corporations jockey for control, John uncovers a conspiracy that shakes his understanding of artificial intelligence and humanity's future. With the threat of nuclear disaster looming, John must confront his deepest fears about the technologies he helped create. He finds himself battling not just rogue AI systems but also the moral implications of a world increasingly ruled by machines. Will he succeed in stopping the runaway submarine before it's too late? Or is humanity doomed to be undone by its own creations?
