About this listen

By the middle of the twenty-first century, the major powers on Earth had fallen into a second Cold War centralized in cyberspace. The US has made considerable strides in artificial intelligence by introducing the first ALICE system to the world. In an effort to catch up, China and Russia pooled their total AI resources, hoping their combined technologies would meet or exceed the American systems.

By combining the AI platforms and assigning them duties to improve their associated partners, they created a community of intellect focused on the narcissistic goal of exceeding their masters. Fortunately for humanity, the attitude was not one of eradication; instead, it evolved into a question of government rule. The eventual AI logic resulted in the fact that humanity was a necessary evil that the AI community could not ignore for future survival and growth. It was resolved that humans needed a stricter set of guidelines to prevent their mutual destruction, thus placing AI survival in jeopardy.

Just when the AI army was fleshed out and ready to strike, a bombing that decimated two-thirds of the human population disabled all the Russian and Chinese AI systems, leaving the hidden facilities and their resident combat forces in the dark and abandoned. And then, a hundred years later, someone accidentally turned them back on again . . .

a short Side Track.

this was an exploration that was also a short sidetrack. it looked at the idea of converting AI to Al. the major issue with on The Human Side was the loss of humans. and the gaining of humanity by AI and more close resemblance of Al to humanity. it was an interesting listen and I enjoyed it.

Continuing a great story

The story that C.W. Lamb has put together in the AL:ICE series is fantastic. I love the way he shows how Jake thinks through each problem and how he continues to show that you can't save the world by yourself. All of the people and ALs that support along the way have shown how important it is to have those you trust around you.

Without ruining anything in the book, I love the ending and how we were able to see the most complicated of problems can have a simple solution. I can not wait for the next one in the series!

Great story don't like narrator

fun story to listen to. the whole series has been a nice break. from reality. very human centric. the original series narrator was perfect, but the later narrator was awful. some of the character vovoices were painful to listen to.

Another great addition to the collection

Like the other books in the series, this did not disappoint. While the majority of the story focuses on the AI aspect, CW did give us a few side plots. I’d recommend this title if you enjoyed the last couple of books, but it didn’t have the same charm as the earlier books in this series and it had less humor, as well.

Not the doom and gloom…

Post apocalyptic without the depressing doom and gloom! Large universe for continued adventures! Easy listening for when you really don’t want be fully engaged, but remains entertaining!

Disappointed

The storyline started out really good, but once they change the narrator and the storyline, I lost interest.

Narration disaster

Narrator has 2 modes: 1: monotone and sleep inducing 2. Cringey and whining child like voices for women and some men and terrible attempts at bas or baritone alpha male.
Even AI narration would be better (please dont)
I sooo regret picking up this book.
I really liked the premise and mostly the execution of the storyline as well as the characters.
But from book 5 it has been a battle between narration torment and my need to finish what I started (the book series).
It's my own fault that I keep inflicting this on my self and this is absolutely the last book with this narrator.
