A relevant fictional story that is terrifyingly accurate to our current world and the debate over the use of AI. This story will have you on the edge of your seat as you try to fixture out just who is pulling the strings.

AI is receiving a lot of criticism in our world right now and we don’t know where the advancement will lead. While a fictional story, I do believe it serves an accurate warning on what’s to come if we give AI too much power. Tom’s story telling is engaging and I was excited to read a fictional story written by him that is so different than his other non-fiction work. Bravo, sir!

Wow! Is AI the false prophet we’ve been warned about? Such a fast paced story that I couldn’t put down until the end.
