Waking from cryogenic sleep, Lin Qi, a genius from the old century, becomes a frail "ancient" in the new era. For some reason, a mysterious organization keeps hunting him down.
But he has brought with him the old century's last spark: an AI capable of turning the future upside down. He has also awakened an ability that lets him see the weaknesses of all things.
In this brutal world of genes, special abilities, and mechanical augmentation, Lin Qi is forced into a forbidden study of the very source of power. The mutated beasts roaring in the wilderness contain the core energy that drives human civilization. The undercurrents in the cities are far more dangerous than the monsters in plain sight.
When the shadow of destruction descends once more, Lin Qi realizes he holds more than the key to evolution: he holds the key to a future war that could redefine humanity and AI, civilization and wilderness...
