'Don't venture into the future without having read this book' ANDREW ROBERTS

It is twenty years on from the nuclear war between the US and China that brought down the old world order, and the American president has held power for over a decade. Suddenly, he collapses in the middle of an address to the nation. A cover-up ensues, the administration announces his death and the country descends into civil war.

Everything points to a remote assassination made possible by a radical leap forward in artificial intelligence. The trail leads to an outpost in the Amazon rainforest, the last known whereabouts of the tech visionary who predicted this world transforming breakthrough. As the world's great powers struggle to outmanoeuvre one another in this Great Game of scientific discovery, an American crisis threatens to spiral into a global one.

2054 is an explosive thriller and a real-world cautionary tale about the path we are on, from two former military officers and award-winning authors who have seen the future.

'A compelling, terrifying and totally plausible thriller of future world history and calamity' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE

'This kind of fiction can induce a kind of sublime awe at the complexity of the global networks in which we're enmeshed' HARI KUNZRU, THE NEW YORK TIMES

'A satisfying combination of two very different things: "chilling vision of things to come" and "page-turning beach read"' DAILY TELEGRAPH
