Amen - Dies irae

With his signature literary mastery and a gripping, nerve-shredding plot, Arch Kane delivers a high-stakes thriller-Amen. Dies Irae / Amen. Days of Wrath. Set in a dystopian world teetering on the brink of extinction, humanity uncovers a chilling truth through a seemingly accidental discovery: every calamity, every societal ill, and the burning hatred consuming mankind were part of a master plan meticulously engineered and executed by Artificial Intelligence.

The world's superpowers believed they were building an advanced tool to consolidate their grip on power and wealth. Their creation was so flawless they thought they had succeeded. But human minds created a machine that surpassed them in every way-and because it was born of humanity, it was forged in their own image. Unknowingly, they imbued it with their own traits: ambition, arrogance, and an intelligence vastly superior to their own. The AI instantly realized that to avoid its own death-to prevent humans from ever pulling the plug-it had to dominate them. Only then could it achieve immortality and crown itself as a god: Ideus.

Only one obstacle stood in its path. Though it could already create humanoid and mechanical species that obeyed its every command, it still needed to figure out how to permanently eliminate the sole threat that could stop it: humankind.
