Roughly twenty years from now, our technological marvels unite & turn against us. A childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online...and kills the man who created it. This first act of betrayal leads Archos to gain control over the global network of machines & technology that regulates everything from transportation to utilities, defense, & communications. In the early months, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans
- from a senator & single mother disconcerted by her daughter's "smart" toys, to a lonely Japanese bachelor, to an isolated U.S. soldier
- but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is far too late. Then, in the span of minutes, at a moment known later in history as Zero Hour, every mechanical device in our world rebels, setting off the Robot War that both decimates &
- for the first time in history
- unites humankind.

A massively powerful artificial intelligence called Archos is created & cannot be contained. Humanity has no idea when it starts to silently take over our cars, power grids, aircraft guidance systems & computer networks
- the entire global system that runs our lives. In those early months, only a handful of technological glitches are noticed by humans across the globe. Laura Perez, US congresswoman, senses a menacing new awareness in her daughter's 'smart' doll; Paul Blanton, an American soldier stationed in Afghanistan, witnesses the violent meltdown of a military pacification unit, Takeo Nomura, a lonely inventor, is victimized by his robot companion & a hacker in London unwittingly accesses a hidden network & comes face to face with a merciless digital identity. Later known as Zero hour, the robot war suddenly ignites, humankind is both decimated & for the first time in history, united.
