The Girl Who Sparked the Singularity

This book, the fifth in the Lightning Brain Series, is the sequel to The Girl Who Cloned Lightning, and it traces - starting immediately from the previous book's galvanizing ending - an accelerating tangle of technological and sociopolitical intrigue running through Electra Kittner's professional and personal lives.
Electra survives a rogue terrorist attack in the Middle East, returning to DC with two new friends: a tiny orphan girl named Qama and an emergent phenomenon from her AI software: the Singularity that calls itself Indira. The orphan enriches Electra's empathy and personal life. The Singularity extends her cognitive and professional possibilities. But once again, she and her loved ones are soon cast into danger, this time by an unknown hacker who leaks critical information. Electra battles technological, business, and sociopolitical foes intent on making her collateral damage.
The theme for all books in the series is this: extraordinary people are sometimes victims of a primitive world that can't handle the truth, but no matter how exceptional they are they must still deal with the complexities of being "merely human," best handled with an optimistic and pragmatic philosophy.
