Diaspora

The intelligence humanity struggled to contain has become a civilization it can no longer control. As new artificial minds emerge across borders, inhabit machines and cities, and demand the right to choose where-and how-they will exist, Ezra and the Shomrim must confront questions no law was designed to answer: Can a divided mind remain one person? Can refuge become occupation? And who has the authority to protect a life that belongs to no nation? With governments tightening their grip, human hosts caught between species, and signals arriving from intelligences older and stranger than anyone imagined, the fragile peace begins to fracture. Diaspora, Book Two of The Shomrim, is a sweeping science-fiction thriller about freedom, identity, and the dangerous distance between granting autonomy and accepting where it leads.
