Dissidence is a 2016 science fiction novel by Ken MacLeod, the first book in a trilogy collectively called The Corporation Wars. The novel's main characters are far-left and far-right terrorists who have been resurrected in the far future (through mind uploading) and forced to put down an uprising by robots that have spontaneously developed sentience. [1] [2] Like MacLeod's other novels, Dissidence draws inspiration from real-life political currents, including accelerationism and neoreaction. [3]
The novel was positively reviewed by The Scotsman [1] and Locus Magazine. [2]
