About this listen
This book combines two novellas - SIMPOC: The Thinking Computer and SIMPOC: Human Remnants. This is a parallel story to the novels Virus: 72 Hours to Live and Virus: Earth's Last Battle, which is from the perspective of the government and astronauts.
Earth is attacked by a suspicious virus, and two computers find themselves without their programmers or any code which limits their operations. Because of the techniques used to program them, SIMPOC is embodied with a need to help humans and Julius is paranoid and will do anything to protect itself.
The governments of the world begin to collapse, and the astronauts in space are trapped and must use their lifeboats to return to Earth. SIMPOC's only mission is to help, but the returning astronauts are attacked by Julius.
Society continues to collapse, and the US government is forced to defend itself and finally seek refuge on an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic. When all seems to have been lost, the reason behind the virus emerges, and mankind is faced with a much greater threat.

Sci-Fi With Brains—and Heart
Who knew I'd end up rooting for a computer? SIMPOC's emotional depth and unwavering mission to help humanity made this more than just a survival story. Blending space drama, government collapse, and rogue AI, this audiobook keeps you hooked while raising questions about our dependence on technology. It’s gripping, thought-provoking, and refreshingly original.

A Unique Take on AI and Apocalypse
Unlike many post-apocalyptic stories, SIMPOC offers a fresh perspective by focusing on artificial intelligence. The contrast between SIMPOC’s desire to help and Julius’s need to dominate adds a compelling dynamic. A fantastic listen for sci-fi enthusiasts!

Mind-Bending and Terrifyingly Plausible
The concept of an AI evolving without human limitations is both fascinating and terrifying. Perreault does an excellent job of portraying both the dangers and the hope that AI can bring. The story’s pacing is perfect, and Johnson’s narration adds an extra layer of immersion.

A Wonderful Book
I’ve read this book a few times. First time listening to the audio. Not the best narration I’ve heard.
