Author Tom Huddleston
Science Fiction
In Earth’s distant future, children must compete in dangerous races for the amusement of the Intellects—artificial intelligences that run the city. If the children win, a life of luxury will be theirs. If the children lose, well, they don’t want to even think about that. But what if those same children tried to escape? Could they possibly survive without the machines that raised them?
