Summary
"Banished from humanity, the machines sought refuge in their own promised land. They settled in the cradle of human civilization, and thus a new nation was born. A place the machines could call home, a place they could raise their descendants, and they christened the nation ‘Zero One’. Zero One prospered, and for a time, it was good. The machine’s artificial intelligence could be seen in every facet of society, including the creation of new and better AI."
Five years after the Great Purge, and Zero One has begun to seek contact with the outside world. Its advanced technology has the human nations stunned and amazed. An international delegation of scientists is sent to the Machine City. Officially, it is a mission of peace. But each ambassador has their own motives for being there. And Machines are not as single-minded or rational as the humans believe.
