The Perfect

by Greg Juhn

A relentlessly smart machine. One dumb human. The winner will define the future.

“Laugh out loud funny!” “Thought-provoking” “A great read!” “Wry and witty”

How fast can a relentlessly smart machine destroy a man’s life? It’s up to an average guy to represent the human race when a superintelligent robot arrives on the scene, ready to talk smack and inherit the world.

TJ Marshall, a marketing exec at a leading robotics company, is driven over the edge by the world's most annoying machine, but he soon discovers the stakes are much higher than his own sanity.

The Perfect is a fast-paced story about the near future bearing down on us, a future that will be scary for surprising reasons. Welcome to the contest of the incompetent human against artificial intelligence and information over-awareness. One world is about to get crushed.

Funny, exciting, scary - techno satire with a strong dose of humor, mayhem and inspired lunacy.

If you love your artificial intelligence with a knack for sarcasm, read The Perfect!

a rather intriguing idea, not new to the genre of course but deftly enough handled here in a postmodern, eerily peculiar environment. I can't admit to falling in love with this world and its characters, but I certainly enjoyed reading about them for a while.

Realistic. Outstanding. Depressing.

Here's a believable taste of what the approaching Singularity will bring. The story moves and is satisfying. I'm going to find other work by Greg Kuhn immediately.

This book makes you think about all of the technology we have in our lives, from our phones to laptops to security systems, even self-driving cars. What if we could create a robot that was so real you wouldn't be able to tell it was a machine--and it seemed to be better than us? This is the kind of future that Greg Juhn presents in The Perfect. TJ is a marketing executive who has to come up with a way to market this machine, if it doesn't drive him crazy first.

I breezed through this book. The writing flowed well and there was a lot of humor that kept me chuckling as I read. I found TJ's character rather annoying, almost as annoying as Josh, the "perfect" robot, but I think he was intended to be that way. The plot had some great twists and turns that kept me surprised about what was going to happen next. I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author.

Whoa What A Book!

What a marvelous book. The near future and the "What ifs" are brought to life. If I were a child today, I just might see this book come into a reality.

Hilarious and well written sci-fi! Highly recommend this book! Not since Douglas Adams has a science fiction author made me laugh so hard! Deftly clever. I'd read it all over again!
