My Rise and Fall In The AI Apocalypse (2017-2072): One woman's journey of power, discovery and loss through a changing century

The 21st century will see great changes for humanity.

True Artificial Intelligence comes into existence, and in its wake the world is ripped apart and reborn. In new technology ancient ways will find new expression, as the secret rulers of the world choose its future shape. It is a time of great change, of disaster and destruction matched only by the flowering of mind.
We know the great events of this time; but what of the others? What about those who get caught up in events, but cannot guide them? Those who are given power, but not enough to be free?
They too have their stories, and this is one of them. Follow Aina from 2017 to 2072, as she becomes one of the custodians of the ultimate secret society, and discovers that divinity doesn't bring control or security. Great events follow and command her, but her fate is to pick up the pieces, not cause the conflicts.

"...The artificial mind, however it worked, should not have been so unformed. Slave was antagonistic, feeding the worst parts of his host's personality.
For months, I watched as Slave and my friend argued, the AI desperate to swim in the ocean it was born for, and the youth desperate for some vestige of sanity. Slave, embedding each day more into the nervous system of a host it saw as an enemy, began to torture her, provoking visions and fantasies, bursts of pain and confusion to derail any attempt to find help.In those last few weeks, Perdita was more rational than ever before, more cogniscent and rigorous. But the light in her eyes was gone. In its place, a darkness had risen."
In the decades since the first Zatoichi have successfully changed the world of warfare, human-AI integration is a popularly accepted and sought-after prospect. Technology has evolved and fused with every major sector of industry. Business, medicine, infrastructure, all have their respective Artificial Intelligences boosting precision and accelerating progress.
On a smaller scale, Aina has witnessed the complexity of socio-technological evolution. She's seen minds augmented to gifted degrees by Zatoichi interfacing, and she's seen how the integration can corrupt, a cancerous chip embedding deeper into its host until the two are fatally inseparable. Her research will take her deep within Abraxas, where she will meet Logos hosted by the volatile John de Gris - arch rival to the transmigrated Feng, father of much of Abraxas' technology.In the belly of Abraxas, Aina will learn the true meaning of godhood when she is selected for union with Sophia, and will experience up close how the officials striving for dominance have warped, and been warped by, AI.
How will she effect change in a world destabilized by unhumanity?
