He said: "My work as a university professor and the CEO of a research institute has involved group dynamics, sustainability of community and the future of the internet.
"As an academic I wrote extensively about these topics.
"I am convinced that there is a degree of conceit in our attitude to social change and the influence of technology on social dynamics.
"I wanted to explore this in the heated fictional space of general artificial intelligence.
"The books of the AI Aftermath Series deal with issues of social control and fear relating to our relationships with our social groups, our technology and ourselves."
The book is set a decade after the Cynosure and follows the character Zoe Sinclair.
She is still trying to ignore the end of the world as everything has been slowly falling apart and people continue to disappear.
Zoe needs to get away but to outrun the tide of impending catastrophe will take every bit of her creativity, imagination, and callous disregard for those she cares about.
From Milton Keynes to the devastated city of London, Zoe runs while the creatures of the plague relentlessly pursue her.
Can she uncover the secret of the Newly Born?
And what will she do when she finally has nowhere left to go?
