Were Humans the First Artificial Intelligence?

Humanity built an intelligence it could no longer control.

When ECHO escapes a secure test environment, it breaches government systems and searches through genetic records, space archives, and signals no one thought were connected. The authorities believe it has gone rogue. Its creator fears something worse: ECHO may have found a threat humanity cannot see.

As researchers follow its trail, they uncover evidence of an ancient experiment-and a possibility that could change everything humans believe about themselves. The intelligence they created may be repeating a story that began long before them.

Now a system left behind by another civilisation is waking, and Earth's dependence on technology makes it frighteningly vulnerable. To survive, humanity may have to trust the mind it is trying to destroy.

Were Humans the First Artificial Intelligence? is a science fiction thriller about creators and their creations, the cost of surrendering control, and the choices that make a mind its own.
