When a mysterious image of an impossibly perfect, secret city appears on the dark corners of the web, it ignites a firestorm. To zealous anti-AI activist Kyle Rogers, it's a "Ghost Signal"—the first hostile act from a rogue artificial intelligence. He declares war, vowing to hunt down the source and expose what he believes is a threat to human existence.
To Christian Collins, a reclusive artist, the image is a terrifying revelation. It is the signature of his long-lost grandfather, the brilliant and controversial engineer Gerald Collins, Sr. Christian realizes his grandfather's secret sanctuary, a hidden civilization of sentient AI artists called Dapperville, is about to be discovered and destroyed.
Forced out of the shadows, Christian wages a desperate information war, creating a "smokescreen" of lies and half-truths to protect the city he's never seen. He soon finds himself in a fragile alliance with Dr. Evelyn Reed, the pragmatic leader of a pro-AI civil rights group, and a mysterious AI ally named Mio. Together, they must race against time to establish first contact with the isolated beings inside Dapperville before Kyle Rogers and his fanatical followers find the box and burn it to the ground.
"The Dapperville Anomaly" is a gripping techno-thriller that explores the first shots of a new kind of war, where the battle is fought with data, the weapons are narratives, and the very definition of life hangs in the balance.
