About this ebook
(Short Story, just over 2,000 words) A war in the future. Heavy AI and self replicating machines.
Personally, I think there could be a plot here. So ya never know, maybe this will be the one I go back to in a few years and mine it for a novel or six. As always, I would love to get feedback and constructive criticism of all types.
