by Chris LodwigPublish: Dec 10, 2022Science FictionBook Overview
The System is alive, but not well.It’s been three centuries since the artificial intelligence that once ran the world was shut down. Now, all that remains of the System are a book of arcane knowledge and the traditions of the professors who control it.
Reyan is a scruffy thirteen-year-old who thinks too much, understands too little, and is overwhelmed by everything. She spends her time perched in her favorite tree, observing a town that wants nothing to do with her. When Reyan's benefactor dies, leaving her with no family or future, her fate becomes tied to a group of visiting professors.
Far removed from everything she’s ever known, Reyan struggles to master her unwieldy mind and understand the System’s power and potential. As she grows into her new life and works to expand the System, she is confronted by forces who aim to limit both.
Now, she must choose between the comforts and privileges of her new home and stopping those who would wipe away centuries’ worth of Systemic knowledge and wisdom.
Host is the long-anticipated and beautifully conceived sequel to Chris Lodwig’s first novel, Systemic.
