> the council wars series explores the chaos that ensues after a high tech civilization collapses on earth. [..] > set several thousand years in the future, in a society with advanced nanotechnology, teleportation, and other technologies which effectively are magical in the sense of clarke's law made real, all controlled and coordinated by an artificial intelligence called mother. initially the world is a near eden. war has been gone for millennia. [..] > mother [..] is controlled by a council of thirteen key holders who can change system directives and, if unanimous, change even her kernel-level programming. the council has split into two philosophical factions, and is in a battle for whose ideals will dominate the future of the human race. when one of the council members dies without a clear successor to their key, the faction split becomes numerically balanced. that faction split leads to war: something humans have not had for over a millennium.
