Artificial Wisdom
by Thomas R. Weaver
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK, Transworld Publishers for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
I loved the premise, of seeing how we could potentially end up in the future. The politics and technological strides were fascinating and entirely plausible. The writing is very strong, and I liked some of the side characters immensely.
For those who enjoy crime thrillers, this will probably hit the mark - but alas, I do not. I wanted to know more about the state of the world, but that is not really what this work is (despite some very interesting discourse of AI, climate and humanity being thrown in ad hoc). I also felt that things were mostly wrapped up by the 85% mark, so for the last 15% I was quite bored.
I will be recommending this book to those who enjoy murder mysteries and thrillers, not to those who expect it to be the next 1984 or Brave New World for our times.
