Dystopia in three parts set on Moreland, a seasteading built outside the U.S. territorial waters so that the extremely wealthy can live free of taxes and any laws but their own. The second generation discovers that there is no one to do the work, so they bring in thousands of robots, including sentient AIs, one of whom is the protagonist in all three stories. In the first story, the AI is bored and arranges to be thrown into the ocean to kill him. In the second story set some years later, the AI has been found and restored to life by a dissident faction that is trying to foment revolution. In the third story, after the owner of Moreland has killed the AI, it is again restored to run in an election.

In the second part, \“normal\” humans are trying, with considerable success, to eliminate the enhanced humans. In the third part, while the violence against the advanced continues, a rapprochement seems possible.
