Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a distant planet. When Kady and Ezra—exes who can barely stand each other—find their world attacked, they’re forced to flee aboard an evacuating fleet. But when a deadly plague breaks out and the fleet’s AI goes rogue, survival becomes a terrifying game of strategy, courage, and trust.

Told through hacked documents, classified files, instant messages, and military reports, Illuminae is a gripping and unconventional sci-fi thriller that redefines how stories are told. Kady’s determination to uncover the truth might save everyone—or doom them all.

Explosive, emotional, and wildly inventive, Illuminae is the first book in The Illuminae Files trilogy—where every line of code, every lie, and every heartbeat matters.
