Аннотация

San Francisco, 2017. Clinton’s in the White House, Brexit never happened -
and Verity Jane’s got herself a new job.

They call Verity the app-whisperer, and she’s just been hired by a shadowy
start-up to evaluate a pair-of-glasses-cum-digital-assistant called Eunice.
Only Eunice has other ideas.
Pretty soon, Verity knows that Eunice is smarter than anyone she’s ever met,
conceals some serious capabilities and is profoundly paranoid — which is just
as well since suddenly some bad people are after Verity.
Meanwhile, in a post-apocalyptic London a century from now, PR fixer Wilf
Netherton is tasked by all-seeing policewoman Ainsley Lowbeer with interfering
in the alternative past in which Verity and Eunice exist. It appears something
nasty is about to happen there - and fixing it will require not only Eunice’s
unique human-AI skillset but also a little help from the future.
A future which Verity soon fears may never be…
