"Trilobyte" by J.L. Bourne
https://www.amazon.com/Trilobyte-J-L-Bourne/dp/B08BW84JBZ

Book number one of a two book apocalyptic science fiction series. I
read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade
paperback self published by the author in 2020 that I bought from Amazon
in 2024. Unfortunately, the second book in the series has only been
published by Audible so far, I can not buy a dead tree copy yet. I so
want the second book too.

Humanity is so screwed. Several decades from now, after the EM global
war, a robotic surgery device was converted to be a controller for human beings. Millions of these devices were made and shipped to the USA.
After installing themselves on humans, they killed and enslaved other
humans. The war to eradicate humanity was on. There are survivors but
not many as the machines continually upgrade themselves and swarm any suspected human refuge.

From the author: "Now, after years of world building, writing and
editing in my attic, Trilobyte is ready for you, my beloved reader. Some
might call it a warning of what is to come if we aren?t careful with our creations. Trilobyte is the most terrifying thing I have ever written.
They are closer than you think.
They will be trillions.
They will come for you.
Lock your doors and load those rail guns. The machines are here."

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
