STAR RATINGS GUIDE

Thoroughly DELIO-ightful

THE BIRDICT

🧡 A dynamic duo in over their heads, an AI breakthrough, and a world frozen: all the ingredients I need for a good time. And to top it all off, it was funny. I particularly enjoyed Poppy’s very British humour, like how we make jokes to alleviate any awkwardness/anxiety/passing of time.

💚 Cannot wait for the next instalment.

SQUAWKING THE TALK

🎧 Spotless production. Loved it for excellent signposting of who was talking, for all the characterisation but especially the voice of DELIO, and for casting two veteran narrators in Laura Aikman and Vikas Adam.

The Hive

THE BLURB

When everyone on the planet suddenly freezes in place a single artificial intelligence threatens the survival of humanity.

From bestselling author R. R. Haywood comes a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure about a group of survivors fighting to take down the all-powerful DELIO - the world’s first fully sentient AI.

When a mysterious event leaves nearly every human being on the planet frozen and unaware, a desperate few will do whatever it takes to prevent the AI from controlling the fate of humanity.

In New York, one of DELIO’s creators joins forces with a washed-up suicidal detective and a young film maker with a dark past, while in London convicted drug dealer Alfie is saved by an abused young woman trafficked into London – together, only they can stop DELIO.

But can they do it before it’s too late?
