    Written by Josh Blaylock and Mark Powers. Art by Jethro Morales. Cover by Joel Humberto Herrera. What if our fears of a tyrannical A.I. turn out to be unfounded, but nevertheless, humanity forces this machine intelligence to fight back? In 2045 we survive a brush with oblivion when the A.I. AURELIUS achieves singularity -quickly deactivated but not without a fight. A decade later governments ensure it never returns by activating the 'Analog Protocol' - frequently and without warning. Citizens must expect, at any time, to lose all digital capabilities. What they don't know is that AURELIUS left a piece of its mind behind - in a simple hemp farmer known only as Epictetus. 48 pages, full color. Cover price $7.99. Grade: CGC 9.8 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
