The Machine Goddess — Charles Phipps

The future of Earth is a bleak and foreboding world.

James Brody is a Jewish son estranged from his Christian father. James is also an enhanced human, one of the last true thinkers left on the planet. Earth hovers on the brink of a massive catastrophe, and James is crafting an unparalleled artificial intelligence. He may very well represent the last hope for a humanity about to destroy itself.
