About this listen

Mysterious tech, a devious AI and a couple of scientists in over their heads collide in the latest sci-fi adventure from the number one best-selling author of the Bobiverse series.

Physicist Philip Moray is having a good day. He’s chipping away at his big work project. The lunch in the cafeteria is at least edible. And he’s looking forward to his end-of-the-day drink and a soak in the hot tub.

Then, a strange device turns up in his office. A piece of technology he has never seen before–and shouldn’t even exist.

Suddenly, corpses start turning up, eco-activists go on the attack, random people suffer bizarre symptoms. And every time the authorities get a lead, it traces right back to Philip and his colleague, Celia Hunt.

Then, a mysterious caller contacts Philip–and, suddenly, staying out of jail is the very least of his problems.

Apparently, that hot tub’s going to have to wait.

I always enjoy Taylor’s perspective on potential technological futures and when his dry wit and characteristic pop culture references are thrown in, it is a joy to listen too.
I found the narrators voice engaging and with very good comic timing.

The story hints at other sci fi books around the subject with the idea of limitations in software and the prison dilemma but having an AI that is actively trying to see the brighter side of life was fun. Kept a thrilling pace, a few nice twists and in-depth and likeable main characters (with a few recognisable names from his previous work, “what do I call? Bob?”)

Thanks and keep up the great writing.

Fantastic

The book is essentially a detective story but mixes in current AI theory and concerns. Very clever and well written.
Characters are good and well rounded.
Not a dark apocalypse story either. Full of humour.
Very enjoyable indeed.

A happy end to the world.

it was an interesting story, it just didn't quite flow right, not sure why, might have worked better shortened. Even Ray Porter didn't save it for me, although I hsd to hear it til the end.
