With a click, the bread fell into the toaster. One circuit fired the heating coils. Others monitored bread temperature and color.
Yet another circuit was quite unlike all the rest—
as exotic as it was sinister;
when it activated, 368 people would die.
In the 22nd-century domed city of Arcadia, the AI justice system is airtight. Human error has been removed. Yet somehow, a well-intentioned young kleptomaniac named Rainville falls through the cracks and is wrongfully convicted of mass murder.
He is exiled to Wychwood Prison, a crumbling necropolis beyond the dome where the dead outnumber the living, where the inmates are also the guards. News of the crime follows him, and he becomes a marked man.
Rainville's only hope for survival is becoming the first inmate in history to escape Wychwood. Can he do it? The fate of Arcadia depends on it.
Juris Ex Machina is a fast-paced science-fiction legal thriller about artificial intelligence, justice, and the dangerous consequences of technological perfection.
Performed by Audie Award-winning narrator Marc Thompson.
Winner, Best Science Fiction Novel - 2025 American Fiction Awards and 2025 Best Book Awards; Winner, Best Science Fiction Novel of 2024 - Indies Today.
