Description: By the author of Mickey7, now the major motion picture Mickey 17
The humans are fighting again. Go figure.
As a free AI, Mal finds the war between the modded and augmented Federals and the puritanical Humanists about as interesting as a battle between rival anthills. He's not above scouting the battlefield for salvage, though, and when the Humanists abruptly cut off access to infospace he finds himself trapped in the body of a cyborg mercenary, and responsible for the safety of the modded girl she died protecting.
A dark comedy wrapped in a techno thriller's skin, Mal Goes to War provides a satirical take on war, artificial intelligence, and what it really means to be human.
Review: "Andy Weir, watch out!" -- Stephen Baxter on Mickey7
"Excellent" -- The FT on Mickey7
"Intelligent, heartfelt and very funny" -- SciFiNow on Mickey7
"Leaves the audience gasping" -- The Times on Mickey7
Author Biography: Edward Ashton (he/him) is the author of the novels Three Days in April, The End of Ordinary, Mickey7, and Antimatter Blues as well as of short stories which have appeared in venues ranging from the newsletter of an Italian sausage company to Escape Pod, Analog, and Fireside Fiction. He lives in upstate New York in a cabin in the woods (not that cabin in the woods) with his wife, a variable number of daughters, and an adorably mopey dog named Max. In his free time, he enjoys cancer research, teaching quantum physics to sullen graduate students, and whittling.
