Thank you to Netgalley and BenBella Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I was quite pleasantly surprised that I did, because non-fiction is a genre that I rarely like.
The narrator was able to explain many complex or complicated ideas in a simple way that was easy to understand and very informative, I liked the way that the book first goes through important concepts and jumps right into the intricate history of AI - how it has affected the world and continues to do so, and how various countries in the world today are racing to wield this power.
The beginning of this book was a bit broad and unspecified, and it took a while for it to actually get into the stream of artificial intelligence itself. However, I liked the way that the book was written that someone who knew absolutely nothing about the subject could easily understand what was being said and get a better sense of some of the advances happening in the world today, which are spoken of quite frequently in the news as well.
Overall, this book proved to be a somewhat thought-provoking and highly interesting read. I would definitely recommend it to others who either like non-fiction, or if you are like me and enjoy reading about science in the future and artificial intelligence in general.
