The Singularity enters the Federation. Its citizens are AIs.



And no one knows how to treat them. From collaborations to master-slave, every relationship is different, when they shouldn't be. The AIs fight back, but on a level none of the other members understand.



The fight starts slowly, but when the realization of what's happening hits too close to home, more extraordinary measures are called for. What is the legal framework in which everyone can coexist peacefully? Who better to build it than Rivka and the Magistrates?



But only if they can survive.



Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.
