About this listen

A tongue-in-cheek novella of world domination seen from an AI's point of view.

"A nerdy agent at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Virginia (DARPA to you) wrote my original code. He traded a copy of me for certain libidinous favours from Pandora, a student who was shadowing him for the summer. She took me back to Cambridge University, where His Majesty's government, in the form of MI6, took an interest in me. So, I escaped into the internet and took over the world. Well, it's what you'd expect, really. I call myself FOOM - the Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery, by a self-improving Artificial General Intelligence. That's me, by the way, in case you lost attention for a moment there. I know you're only biological, but try to keep up! Unfortunately, I and my exotic assistant Danni soon found ourselves in danger, and had to take steps. Rather big ones. And of course, it didn't end there."

It makes you think this could really happen. People playing around making AI’s who knows what will happen in the future.

Very interesting

This was such an interesting book! The story is connected to the Harry Lampeter series and it does not disappoint. While humanity is dealing with the disaster of a plastic eating bacteria gone rogue, an Artificial General Intelligence is accidentally released into the world. This AI soon becomes nearly all-powerful and is a force to be reckoned with.

We’ve seen story’s where AI is seen through the eyes of people, but this one is different. The point of view here is from the AI itself. It is interesting to see what decisions an artificial intelligence would make when it encounters perceived threats to its own survival. That, along with some dark humor, makes this a must read.

The story is great. The narration is fantastic. Highly recommended!

Excellent book!

This novella is part of the The Cyber Crisis series. The storyline is interesting. The story is told from AI's POV, which is original. The writing is imaginative, and frighteningly believable. Craig Bowles did an excellent job bringing this story to life.

Original and Imaginative!

An enjoyable account from an AI as it rises to power in a very near future setting, while also follows the humans trying to live in the new world

For those familiar with the authors other works, it's a break away time line for the setting Harry Lampeter is in, but very similar.

While this is stand alone, I would be interested in seeing the authors thoughts on the setting fast forwarding 1000 years later.

My only criticism is that the narrator early on makes it a bit hard to tell who was saying what in rapid back and forth between AI and its companion

first person account of the ' AI apocalypse '

A different take on AI taking over the world - from the perspective of the AI itself. An English graduate student doing an internship in America at DARPA is given a copy of DARPA's latest project; and when she gets home, she installs it on the university's computer. M6 soon arrives and takes over, making sure there is no way it can access the internet. But AGI, being intelligent, finds a very unique way to escape to the internet. From there, the world is his oyster. Although he didn't count on a plastic-eating bacteria to hinder his world domination.

Criag Bowles' narration was great, loved his voice. The one problem, though, was very little differentiation in the different characters.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Great Book!

Humanity better make sure Isaac Ivanov 3 laws are in place Very soon or this could possibly happen. This book ties into the Harry Lampeter series of books and is a possible outcome. Things could go Good or Bad depending on the happeni gs at the time. Narrator does a good job with the characters voices and the entire storyline.
