The crew of Mars Mission 31 discovers an alien artifact from a distant planet similar to Earth. Deciphering it reveals the events that transpired on Plixon, an oppressive, dystopian world where the population is monitored and controlled by a supercomputer known as the Godmachine. The story follows Ra’dall Simms, an ordinary citizen of Plixon who, when his son is deliberately terminated by the Program, begins to question the validity of the Godmachine. As his life spins out of control, Ra'dall is thrust into the center of a battle for freedom on his planet. When the commander of Mars Mission 31 forwards the information and events of Plixon back to Earth, it triggers a government cover-up that endangers the crew’s safe return.

A chilling vision of the future, Godmachine is a great read for any science fiction fan.
