Kuzz is a near-future novel about power, machine intelligence, and what it means to be human, narrated by 96 year old Nick Bautervich, semi-retired spy and confidante of the President of the Democratic Republic of Australia. When Chinese tech billionaire Wu Jing gifts Nick a hyper-intelligent android called Kuzz, Nick assumes that he is getting a glorified nurse, but he is very wrong. As Nick is drawn into a labyrinth of billion-dollar resource deals, rival AI factions, and a shadowy geopolitical war for the soul of the country, Kuzz is evolving. Battle-tested in the Wastelands, surveilling everyone and everything, Kuzz is crossing a threshold that no one has prepared for, a Machiavellian politician in his own right.
