Notes -
I think so. I had the misfortune of reading the Rifters trilogy. Book one is great. Can't recommend it enough. Book two is a huge drop in quality, but not horrible. Book three has multiple lengthy portions focused on the sexual torture and mutilation of the only moral character in the series. Raped with jagged broken pieces of furniture; breasts cut off and seared with hot irons; hips dislocated for easier access. It was shocking reading the descent of this author from good writer to the lowest. I'm entirely soured on him at this point. He's capable of good writing. He chose this instead. The weirdest part is the rest of his writing doesn't have this. Just one horrible unforgivable book of sexual torture fetish. I tried googling what the hell happened and found his personal website in which he gets super salty with fans. He's a mean misanthrope who also can write well.
At the end of Blindsight it explains that the AI were in charge the whole time. The AI speaks through the vampire right at the end to explain this by burrowing electronics into his brain and using him as a puppet. Maybe mankind was doomed merely by making the AI. Adding in the vampires certainly didn't help.
