Why read it?

2 authors picked Artificial Wisdom as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A stimulating read about a plausible rendition of an AI head of state being elected to solve the world's imminent climate apocalypse. Lots of unexpected twists and turns and an impossible murder mystery like those of Death in Paradise to solve make this definitely a real page turner, the best I have read since Mick Herron's Slow Horses series of spy novels.

So, we’ve reached a future where the climate has finally broken down, and the world has decided a dictator is what’s needed to fix things. AI is the norm. As is neural/advanced VR communication. Yet, even in the midst of crisis, politicians are doing what they always do… trying to manipulate the situation for their own ends.

I loved this technothriller – it’s a fantastic read. The characters are relatable and nuanced. The story is a gem. I was gripped so quickly; if I didn’t need to do ‘life’ stuff, I would’ve finished it in one day.
