The novel “The Corporation Wars: Insurgence” by Ken MacLeod was published for the first time in 2016. It’s the second book in The Corporation Wars trilogy and follows “The Corporation Wars: Dissidence”.

A habitable planet has become part of a clash involving DisCorporates, sentient robots, and digitized minds split into a series of factions in which alliances can form and dissolve. There are sentient robots who prefer to remain neutral but any interaction with external entities can change the balance.

For digitized human minds, one of the problems is that their memories are incomplete. Who really are these digital versions of humans who lived centuries ago? Carlos faces an interrogation in virtual reality.
