In 2030, our planet teeters on the brink of political, monetary, and environmental catastrophe that threatens our collective survival. Will Professor Julian Marshall have the ability to save people as he navigates the crisis-riddled, yet super-intelligent world of the near future? Local climate change, poverty, epidemic disease, individuals issue, terrorism, and famine ravage the globe. Amidst the chaos, the United States and China remain competitive for the 30 billion-dollar Singularity Award to be granted by way of a hedge account billionaire to the team that creates a machine intelligence more advanced than humans. With hackers entrenched in a cyber battle that cripples the grid in multiple countries and a nuclear tool threatening a major city, Julian Marshall, leader of the Berkeley-based US team, understands a recursively bettering super-intelligence with inviolable moral rules could be humanity's only hope. Love and betrayal threaten Julian and his team of coders, distracting them using their company life-or-death task. In the meantime, the deep vaults of our primeval past stretch an extended arm of intelligence and survival to Julian's world of 2030. Arion and his clan's collective intelligence survived the fantastic Toba volcanic eruption around 74,000 years ago and began the fantastic migrations out of Africa to populate the globe. Could this tribe of days gone by contain the key to making it through the future? The Singularity Award is an epic chronicle of humankind's potential grandest triumph.
