Exadelic by Jon Evans

Jon Evans . Unknown Year . English

When an unconventional offshoot of the US military trains an artificial intelligence in the dark arts that humanity calls "black magic," it learns how to hack the fabric of reality itself. It can teleport matter. It can confer immunity to bullets. And it decides that obscure Silicon Valley middle manager Adrian Ross is the primary threat to its existence. Soon Adrian is on the run, wanted by every authority, with no idea how or why he could be a threat. His predicament seems hopeless; his future, nonexistent. But when he investigates the AI and its creators, he discovers his problems are even stranger than they seem...and unearths revelations that will propel him on a journey -- and a love story -- across worlds, eras, and everything, everywhere, all at once.

About the Author

My thriller DARK PLACES won an Arthur Ellis Award; my Vertigo Crime graphic novel THE EXECUTOR was nominated for a Spinetingler Award, and appeared on several best-of-the-year-lists; my very unusual fantasy novel BEASTS OF NEW YORK won a ForeWord Book of the Year award, and seems to have acquired a small but devoted cult following. In addition to writing novels, I'm also a journalist who has traveled to more than 100 countries, and reported from Iraq, Haiti, Colombia, and the Congo; the CTO of the software consultancy HappyFunCorp, and the initial technical architect of bookshop.org; and the founding director of the GitHub Archive Program, preserving the world's open-source software in Oxford's Bodleian Library, Egypt's Library of Alexandria, and a permafrost vault beneath an Arctic mountain, for 1,000 years. (Yes, really.) For some reason it is semi-obligatory for writers to count how many languages our work has been translated to. (Some of the more daring among us may even end a sentence with a preposition while doing so.) Thirteen, since you insist. For far, for more about me than you probably ever wanted to know, see my web site rezendi.com.
