Add to basketIt's the "bleeding edge" of science: Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human duplicates. The result? The Parahuman, a crucial resource for the rich, the famous, and top political leaders. But the technology spread rapidly without oversight. Hollywood re-creates megastars from the golden era to save itself from bankruptcy; organized crime kingpins can be in two places at the same time; political leaders can send their Parahuman duplicate into places too dangerous for any human to enter. But what happens when AI develops its own personality--and objectives?
Michael Benchley, FBI Deputy Director of Science and Technology, is in a race against time that leads him to Hollywood, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and ultimately to the White House. As the U.S. Senate seeks to define this new form of "life," and to shield the Parahumans from abuse, the creatures achieve gain-of-function beyond anyone's anticipation. It's a scenario closer to reality than you think!
The first book in a trilogy, WR Hulkenberg merges factual AI data with an exciting "what-if" story that will keep you spellbound.
