It's 2040 and transportation around the world is controlled by an advanced artificial intelligence system. The technology appears seamless until one fateful day, the seemingly impenetrable system fails, causing disasters and millions of deaths across the globe. No one left behind remains untouched by the tragedy now known as Mayday.
But what exactly happened that day? Could it have been an innocent malfunction, or is there something much more sinister at play? And if it wasn't an accident, who was responsible for the murder of millions and, perhaps more importantly, why did they do it?

About the Author
Reviews
★★★★★"LeKodak's stellar debut is a science fiction thriller that utilizes elements of speculative fiction, apocalyptic fiction, and conspiratorial mystery in a globe-hopping narrative that chronicles a group of adventurers trying to unravel who-or what-was behind a software malfunction that killed tens of millions of innocent people. It is well-written, relentlessly paced, and thematically profound, and will surely appeal to fans of SF thrillers by luminaries like Clarke, Dick, and Crichton. This is the good stuff."-Paul Goat Allen, BlueInk Review
★★★★★"It's refreshing to see a talented author like LeKodak take the trope into the dystopian disaster novel niche and deliver an action-packed tale that gives just as many blockbuster thrills as it does intelligent technological questions. The plot and its themes are the primary focus, but in the ensemble cast of characters caught in the crossfire, each one has good solid development and moments to shine. I recommend The Dawn of AI to enthusiasts of intricately penned and exciting science fiction everywhere."-K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Book Review
★★★★★"The characters are extremely well developed, which is quite an accomplishment given how many there are. The most intriguing characters to me are conjoined twins with incredible story arcs and whenever the point of view kicked back to them, for me, it was like a favorite song playing again on the radio."-Jamie Michele, Readers' Favorite Book Review
★★★★★"The Dawn of AI connects the dots between characters that I neither expected nor saw coming in a story configuration that has an after-before-after pattern. I love this configuration as it hooks immediately and then goes back to fill in the blanks after I am invested in the plot. Excellent storytelling. Very highly recommended."-Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite Book Review
★★★★★"With the rise of Artificial Intelligence being a hot topic in the real world right now, I'm grateful to see such thought-provoking stories that explore this emergent technology's potential. This book is an easy recommendation to anyone interested in exciting science fiction, which takes a prevailing concern of today's world and explores it with intelligence and consideration."-Lexie Fox, Readers' Favorite Book Review
★★★★★"The pitfalls of giving the machines too much control play out in the storyline of Ryan LeKodak's novel. His take on an apocalyptic event is so vivid it is frightening to contemplate. The Dawn of AI is a science fiction aficionado's dream novel."-Essien Asian, Readers' Favorite Book Review
★★★★★"In a world where jobs and livelihoods are being increasingly threatened by AI's potential, this book is a reminder that machine malfunctions will inevitably happen."-Theresa Kadair, Los Angeles Book Review
