SYNOPSIS:
IZON is a company poised for world domination. Its AI and robots can
replace any human worker, any government. Just two things stand in the way of
its CEO. A female programmer out to avenge his greed. And the People’s
Republic of China.
Tima Chelovekova lands her dream job with IZON, the hottest AI and robotics startup in Silicon Valley. But IZON CEO Jase Vestiger doesn't just want to get fabulously rich. He wants Tima’s invention to take over rival tech companies, replace humans with IZON services, corner governments - and run the world. This puts them on a collision course in a whirl of mega-corporations, AI prompts and Chinese hackers. Their conflict spans from Vienna to California, from superyachts to prison cells, from the peaks of technology to the deepest ethical questions. A striking tale of the AI age, a truly 21st century masterpiece of speculative fiction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Peter Heavenheld is a neo-classical playwright and poet. A childhood in
Australia, Fiji, Hungary and Japan made him desirous early on to understand
the cultures and stories of the world - especially through the medium of
theatre. Since then, his plays have been produced all over the world.
His most
recent tragedy, Cleo's Stratos, received rave reviews during its season at
the Cracked Actors Theatre in Melbourne, Australia, in November 2023. A
Greek-Australian migrant family's journey through lockdowns, it was cleverly
intertwined with the Greek myth of the sun-god, Helios. Peter's tragicomedy,
Life, Rehearsed, enjoyed sell-out performances during a production by the
MIDAS Theatre, Moscow's main English-speaking theatre. British actor Jonathan
Salway starred as an actor living a bigamous double life, until his lies
unravel - and he finds redemption. True Words from False Teeth, a Monty
Pythonesque sketch revue, ran successfully at the University of Western
Australia in Perth.
He has also had public reading performances of numerous
other plays, such as Saga Australis - The Macquariad (a historical drama about
Australia's most influential colonial-era governor) and Freedom Born from
Torture's Fires (a harrowing true story of Soviet spy chief and mass murderer,
Lavrentiy Beria). Peter's poem Concerto for Auctioneer’s Mallet was a
June Shenfield Poetry Award prize winner in Canberra, Australia, in 2021.
Peter published a collection of his verse tragedies, Altar of the Muses, in
2010.
Peter lives in Tokyo, Japan. When not writing, he enjoys driving his
classic Aston Martin, experiencing Tokyo's galleries and museums, and
listening to Baroque music. Indeed, he claims he can only write when inspired
by the music of Antonio Vivaldi. The Brain that Breeds all Villainy is his
first published novel.
