Description
San Francisco, 2051. Rising like neo-Shanghai over the Bay, a labyrinth of quantum accelerators, hologram dreams, and fiercely regulated androids. Forget powder, pills, or bud—kids get high slotting wafers of data under the ear, and they’ll pay fat ¢rypto for the best. At the hottest nightclub in the city … the Fang.
Baz Covane is a battle-scarred thief who sticks to small-time bots. Ria Rose is the underworld “fixer” with a big-time score that could easily get ’em both killed. ’Cuz the Fang’s psychotic kingpin Otto Rex has a vault with more security than a fusion reactor. And the glass inside is priceless—enough to set up Baz, Ria, and their crack team of cyber-misfits on the white sands of Tahiti forever.
But this crime doesn’t just carry infinite VR-Prison time—it’s Baz and Ria’s last shot at redemption. Forced to confess every last secret on their neurals, they’ll have to trust each other completely if they stand any chance of infiltrating Otto’s lair, raiding its spiraling rings of physical and virtual firewalls, to finally hack into his mind and crack his deepest layer of security, before the Blackhawks touch down with federal warrants—for Grand Theft AI.

WOW. JUST WOW.
Thank you SO MUCH to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for giving me a chance to go on this non-stop thrill ride before release day.
"Grand Theft AI" is a non-stop thrill ride of twists and turns, espionage, not knowing who to trust, questioning everything around you, and doing all the wrong things for the right reasons. James Cox put Ocean's Eleven, Leverage, The Bourne Identity, Die Hard, and actual world history in a blender, jumped us to the future, added a whole can of cyberpunk, and hit PUREE as hard as he could, and let me tell you, he succeeded. This book has all the marks of a bestseller (hopefully one that gets turned into a movie!) in the creative and intricate ways the plot weaves together, how it keeps the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish, and, most of all, how it all seems so real and so possible, despite being set in the future.
"Grand Theft AI" is EASILY a five star book, as well as one of the best books I've read so far this year. I cannot wait to dive into Cox's other works, and to recommend this phenomenal read to absolutely everyone I know on release day.
