Summary

We unconsciously imprint our prejudices on Ais. Can they become mentally ill like their creators?

If one becomes psychotic, is shutting it down murder?

What if he fights back?

Liam, a gifted engineer, is trying to save the world, by finding a way to let industry mine for metals without the environmental disasters that make the news. Nanobots mining asteroids are the answer, and they are being tested on the dark side of the moon. But Gene, the AI tasked with helping him, spirals down the path of schizophrenia and is on track to mine the moon to dust - and without the influence of the moon, the ecosystems that mankind depends on for its survival as a species will be lost. This leaves Liam and his colleagues to battle the creation and his own demons to save humanity - who are oblivious to the potential destruction around the corner.

"The code was wrong."

What a brilliant concept.
This book is short, perhaps too short, and enjoyable, if a tad cluncky. There is a little too much scientific explanation which does gives the intended feel of authenticity but at the expense of getting on the tedious. Better to have increased the actual story content - there are some seriously long breaks in the TIME line occasionally.it would also have been fun had the lives of the two main characters had been developed a bit more, And, please, much more of the A.I.from the title, please. A great concept, though, and cleverly constructed.
Narration by Jeremiah Robinson was very good, a pleasant tone, well articulated and giving each speaker an individual voice. A nice performance.
Altogether, an enjoyable science fiction novella with a good balance of background story, character , injected humour and action , if a little heavy on scientific explanation. And what a great idea - machines made in The image of man could developed
The ending to this story was ingenious and felt complete. However, a sequel could be easily grown and would be very welcome
