Infinity Born

The other books I would compare this to would be other books by this same author or possibly the Abraham Falls/David Archer book I AM SAL with some story differences but similar sci-fi concept.

This book is very fast paced and a great way to pick up some knowledge about artificial intelligence and super computers capable of learning. Since this is a subject I am not well versed in I won't pretend that I am. Because the author gives quite a long commentary at the end of the book and tells the reader what is real and not, it is very informative to those of us who are not as aware of what kind of technological advances have been made or are in the works.

If you've never heard anything else by this author I would suggest reading/listening to the Nick Hall series beginning with MIND'S EYE. That's the book that got me hooked on this author.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You.

Good title.
That's it. This book has nothing else going for it. Characters and story are completely boring and predictable. It seems as if the author chose a standardized plot and plugged in standardized characters to accomplish standardized actions. Did not finish the book.
The reader did not help.

Very clever story line. Extremely thoughtful and well researched. I will definitely be reading more books from this author.

I love thrillers and high adrenaline stories this was a HUGE disappointment . Part 1 starts off with a massive info dump that put me right to sleep. Wanting to give the story the benefit of the doubt I tried it again the next day starting with part 2. I fell right to sleep again.

I made it through about half the book. The storyline is jagged. The characters are flat and the plot? I don't think there is one. I figured maybe it was the author's first book because it was so horribly put together but I see he has quite a few books which I won't be buying and/or attempting to read. This one I downloaded free and the audio upgrade was cheap. I love trying new authors. Sometimes I fid a gem and other times I find something like this. It's a gamble.

If you enjoy fast paced action, suspense and thrills from start to finish this is probably not your book.

Even the sound quality was lacking. One minute it was blasting in my ears, the next I could barely hear it. Thinking maybe it was my Kindle I tried a couple other stories and they worked fine. My conclusion is the sound quality wasn't up to par.

struggled to finish. Then the final chapter seemed to be open ended and unsatisfying. missing?

Poorly written, mediocre on science, and filled with unidimensional characters. What a disappointment! I am still trying to understand why this would list as a NYT best seller.

Douglas Richards managed to write a novel that catches you attention and flips your mind at each chapter in a way that it still feels accurate.
The tech base on AGI is near tangible to the reader.

Tech that feels real but is just a touch too far are prevalent in this novel. The character development is solid but does feel redundant at times. I recommend this book and others by the author. I am particularly fond of the additional information about the author's research.

I almost dumped this after the first few chapters, and then it all started to come together. I'm glad I stayed to the end, the concepts are better than the writing. Definitely worth the investment and raises some questions about where technology is taking us. Gave me new things to fear lol. Grudgingly 5 stars here, the content is the saving grace.

This will appeal to the science heals who like a lot of details. Plenty to be had. I listened to this on my Kindle on a ten hour drive for company. The plot kept my interest. The last hour of author comments and more is worth while also.
