Halo co-creator Jason Jones wrote novel about AI uprising
Jason Jones, the co-creator of the Halo and Destiny video game series, wrote a novel depicting an artificial intelligence takeover of the world. The manuscript, described as an oral history of fictional events, features approximately 100 characters located across 40 countries who each detail the AI uprising from their own perspectives.
