The most surprising thriller of the year
Who would you trust with the future?

The year is 2050. In the teeth of a climate catastrophe, the world is left with a drastic solution: one global leader to steer it through the coming apocalypse.

The final two candidates are ex-US President Lockwood, and Solomon, the world’s first political artificial intelligence.

As whispers of a global conspiracy emerge, investigative journalist Marcus Tully find himself at the centre of it – when Solomon’s creator turns up murdered.

Overnight, one investigation becomes two, and it’s not just the result of the election that’s at stake but the future of the species. Suddenly humanity must make an impossible choice – between salvation, or freedom.

Imaginative, impressive debut... Particularly compelling is Weaver’s riveting vision of technology in the near future and its ramifications once humans can no longer discern what is real
A thought-provoking page-turner that is intellectually rich, emotionally charged and hugely timely in its exploration of AI, ethics and climate collapse
Artificial Wisdom zips along, but avoids becoming too rushed or too concerned with end-of-chapter cliffhangers. Superior popular fiction, likely to trouble the bestseller lists, and neatly set up for a sequel
Stunning... As modern as tomorrow and even more frightening. Be afraid - very afraid - of where we are and of what is coming (Terry Hayes, bestselling author of I Am Pilgrim)
A richly-imagined, fast-paced exploration of an uncertain future where technology promises to serve as our saviour and rule as our master. At its heart, however, is an all too human story of a desperate man in search of the truth (Michael Cordy, bestselling author of The Messiah Code)
A taut tale with a disturbingly plausible what-if scenario.
A fast-paced blockbuster of a read!
The most surprising thriller of the year.. this thriller explores power, AI and survival – and is guaranteed to make you question everything
Ripped from tomorrow's headlines, this will give you the heebie-jeebies... [an] imaginative thriller'
The plot is gripping, Tully and the other main characters are sympathetic, and their dilemmas seem frighteningly relevant today

A great story more thriller than sci-fi. I loved the performance of the audiobook too.

Excellent all round

Didn't know what to expect. I was slightly worried it sounded a bit preachy and moralistic from the blurb. Anyway that was not the case and a post climate disaster near future was a great and relatable setting for who/how/why-dunnit thriller. Will definitely get part 2 as soon as it's released. Steven Pacey's narration is second to none.

Came here for Steven Pacey's narration. Found a top notch story

I enjoyed the original self-published edition of this audiobook so I was surprised by that negative review and thought I'd better listen to the new version. It's brilliant. Everything about the widely praised original is retained, with some welcome minor adjustments to plot details here and there.

Artificial Wisdom is a story for our times. The pervasive divisive impact of social media, our continued wilful ignorance of the impact of climate change, the distancing and isolation of personal tech - and of course the rise of AI. All this wrapped up in a compelling political thriller. Steven Pacey is matchless in his delivery and his voices are so descriptive you can almost see the characters in front of you.

The special effects treatment distinguishing the security footage playback voices from "live" characters is subtle but effective and draws you into the scene. Overall, the audio quality is pin-sharp.

Yes, Weaver ends the story with as many questions as answers and unashamedly sets it up for the inevitable sequel. I for one am looking forward to that...

Superb

Bear in mind there is a sequel when choosing to read this book. At the start, it felt the novel was a page-turner; however, the ending is disappointing, and it might fall within the traditional trope of West vs East, the United States as the almighty saviour of humankind. Not interested in reading how the story ends.

Disappointing

This sci fi story surprised me with its clear and clever narrative. Really fantastic story!! I chose it off a Reddit post from the author writing about his experiences with Steven Pacey. As an avid listener of Pacey’s I was searching for my next listen. I was sad when it ended.

Steven Pacey’s wonderful narration.
