It’s 2043, and when CJ and Manar return from battling Helene in the Virtual Realm, the heroes can hardly believe life might go back to some sort of normal. But will the team ever be able to get past the lies, betrayals, and losses that got them to this point? And if the killer AI really is gone forever, why does it still feel as though someone is secretly pulling strings to change humanity as we know it.
Symbiosis is the fourth book in the award-winning Paper War series and seamlessly picks up where the last adventure finished. Keen to move forward with their lives, Ndidi and Manar head to Nigeria to see if there is a way they can harness Helene’s technology for good, sparking an ethical dilemma even the team can’t agree on. Should nanites and picospores be used to improve people’s lives, or are the risks simply too high? Could trying to fix humanity’s flaws end up destroying it?
