Bart Sullivan’s team has figured out how to keep their AI from deciding to kill people and will need to go to Hawaii to complete the AI system’s education, showing that the Earth is really round. Once they have completed the education, they will be able to start selling the Mark I desktop AI system to the public.
Because of the violent attacks on him and his team, Bart has encouraged all of his people to obtain carry-permits and carry handguns at all times. And after the attacks, they had become very serious about practicing with their weapons.
The Chinese are determined to obtain Bart's AI system. Kai Chin’s operatives have successfully assaulted the Knoxville FBI office and taken the files concerning Bart and his company to China. Kai Chin wanted the files to figure out how to get Bart’s spy-detector application that Chin is convinced is the reason the FBI is supporting Bart.
After Bart’s desktop AI has been released, one of the other companies that sell AI systems is worried that Bart's system will cut into its business and is determined to stop it.
