Human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay an all out machine offensive to destroy humanity.The war eventually becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict. The same team of reborn rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the primary source of evil who lives in this world disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who become his agents. The evolutionary war between man and machine to become the dominant species is enacted across parallel realities where time and identity are interchangeable, but it is now the spiritual war that takes centre stage. *** Copyright.
