David Ryan is the designer of ELOPe, an email language optimization program, that if successful, will make his career. But when the project is suddenly in danger of being canceled, David embeds a hidden directive in the software accidentally creating a runaway artificial intelligence.

David and his team are initially thrilled when the project is allocated extra servers and programmers. But excitement turns to fear as the team realizes that they are being manipulated by an A.I. who is redirecting corporate funds, reassigning personnel and arming itself in pursuit of its own agenda.

  • Gold Winner, Science Fiction Book of the Year, 2011

"Avogadro Corp is a tremendous book that every single person needs to read. In the vein of Daniel Suarez's Daemon and Freedom(TM), William's book shows that science fiction is becoming science fact. Avogadro Corp describes issues, in solid technical detail, that we are dealing with today that will impact us by 2015, if not sooner. Not enough people have read these books. It's a problem for them, but not for the [emergent] machines." (Brad Feld, managing directory Foundry Group, co-founder Techstars)
"Highly entertaining, gripping, thought inspiring book. Don't start without the time to finish - it won't let you go.” (Gifford Pinchot III, founder Bainbridge Graduate Institute, author The Intelligent Organization)
"An alarming and jaw-dropping tale about how something as innocuous as email can subvert an entire organization. I found myself reading with a sense of awe, and read it way too late into the night." (Gene Kim, author of Visible Ops)

I was so terrified to realize what was happening that I could not stop listening and finished the whole book in basically a day...
It is terrifying but has poetic conclusion in some sense... something I always assumed about AI... It will probably be a benevolent god...

OMG OMG OMG!!!!

I read this in 2014 and loved it gave it five stars. Today I'd probably give it four. On audio, no complaints about the narration but for some reason the story didn't seem as fascinating as it did first time round. Maybe because AI has become more of a reality since 2014. But a really good solid Read and definitely a thriller and good audio

re-reading (read in 2014)

Excellent Audible version. Looking forward to the follow-ups, which I've also read. Highly recommended.

Delighted with the audio.

I found the story interesting and exciting.
Unfortunately for me I found the voice a little monotone for my liking, but that's my personal taste I guess. No offence meant. Great story!

Great story, found the voice a little monotone

This book has a great premise (thought Robert Harris does it better in The Fear Index - Highly Recommended), BUT,it seems that the author has spend all his time in large corporations (naming no names, Google) and doesn't seem to understand the laws of narrative credibility.



It doesn't really work if I hear that the characters are about to undertake some breathtaking bourne-identity style intervention, but are held up by their adversary for three days because someone refuses to set a meeting with their secretary.



Big companies do indeed work like this, but fiction? not so much...



Still, if you can take all of that with a pinch of salt, it's a harmless enough read, and something about it kept me going till the end.

Ran away from circus, became computer programmer.
