![]() ![]() Today it’s Daniel Suarez and William Hertling. In college, it was Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, and Neal Stephenson. When I was a teenager, I obsessively read everything I could get my hands of by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Robert Heinlein. And if you want more of a taste of Hertling, make sure you read his guest post from Friday titled How To Predict The Future. ![]() But read Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears first as they are a series. ![]() All in a parallel universe to humans, who were now trying to figure out how to deal with them, ranging from shutting them off to negotiating with them, all with the help of ELOPe, the first AI who was accidentally created a dozen years earlier and was now working with his creator to suppress the creation of any other AI. ![]() The computer virus hacked together by a teenager had become fully sentient, completely distributed, had formed tribes that now had trading patterns, a society, and a will to live. By this point I figured out where things were going to go over the next 100 pages, although I had no idea how it was going to end. Holy cannoli! That’s what I shouted out loud (startling Amy and the dogs who were laying peacefully next to me on the couch last night) about 100 pages into William Hertling‘s second book A.I. ![]()
