The widespread use of artificial intelligence led to a nuclear explosion in Los Angeles. Since then, the Western bloc led by the United States has waged an uncompromising war to wipe out AI, while the bloc of Southeast Asian countries—New Asia—lives in harmony with robots and will not surrender. In the year 2065, a special-forces operative Joshua went behind enemy lines with the aim of finding the AI’s chief creator, known by the alias Nirmata, and ingratiated himself so successfully that he married the scientist Maya and eagerly awaited the birth of their child. The era of American assaults and a rocket strike shattered the West’s main hope for victory—the military orbital station NOMAD—and his wife perished. Five years later, Joshua is forced to return to New Asia to help a military unit locate Nirmata and his laboratory, where, according to intelligence, a state-of-the-art weapon has been developed that is capable of destroying NOMAD.
