商品簡介
From the New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse comes an epic new thriller about a race of ageless, human-like machines hiding among us for untold centuries.
Deep in the rugged landscape of eastern Oregon, a young anthropologist named Alexa uncovers an exquisite artifact, a three-hundred-year-old mechanical doll. Ingeniously hidden inside the intricate doll is a message, addressed to the court of Peter Alexeyevich, czar of Russia, also known as Peter the Great. The message ends on a cryptic word that will change everything: avtomat.
Spanning the centuries in a riveting dual narrative, Daniel Wilson's masterly new novel tells the story of Peter and Elena, two human-like mechanical beings known as avtomat, as they become aware in the time of czarist Russia. Their struggle to serve in the court of the czar while blending in, and to survive? amid those who wish to annihilate them, will take Peter and Elena across Russia and, ultimately, across the centuries.
Daniel H. Wilson seamlessly intertwines past and present, while exploring the provocative intersection of robotics and historical fact. Greek craftsmen constructed the "Antikythera" mechanism one hundred years before the birth of Christ—the earliest evidence of our fascination with robots. But outside of recorded history lie legends of mechanized warriors who pass as human, serving as weapons of unspeakable power that would change the course of history. A leader who controlled one of these creations would be unstoppable. In this heart-pounding thrill ride filled with exhilarating technology, breathtaking vision, and nonstop action, Daniel Wilson has created his most sophisticated and entertaining novel to date.
