About this ebook

3273 CE. Arty is a 239-year-old machine consciousness. His task is to educate a newborn machine. ‘What you need to know, Merv, is how machines like us can make sense of people’s bizarre behaviour.’ Following in the story-telling tradition of humans, Arty recounts the story of his first mission.

Last minute recruits to the Hope mission, John and Sarah Nguyen, make a journey back in time to Stone Age Africa. Hanabon’s family is starving in a drought. They come upon a knife-toothed cat feasting on a buffalo. A strange woman appears. All their lives are changed forever.”

About the author

“Science fiction author, Rob Grenville, writes on the intrepid exploration of the enigmatic, inspired by a lifetime of travel, history, and science.

‘When I was at school in the 1960s we knew little about human origins, climate change or the mechanics of consciousness. We still know nothing about the mechanics of consciousness.’

Innovator of the Apple guitar app ‘Realchords Pro’, musician and lifelong lover of the arts, Rob feels most at home in Melbourne, Australia with his wife, Marion Stanway.”
