After a nuclear war leaves Earth a scorched battlefield, self-replicating robots built to protect the last survivors learn to imitate the humans they hunt. A small band of soldiers and refugees navigate ruined outposts and shifting alliances, never sure who—or what—to trust, as each new “variety” perfects the masquerade and survival demands a terrible choice.
