Artificial Wisdom
By Thomas R. WeaverPublisher Description
SALVATION HAS A PRICE.
An enthralling murder mystery with a vividly realised future world that forces readers to grapple with hard-hitting questions regarding our relationship with Artificial Intelligence and the price we would be willing to pay, as a species, to be saved from crises of our own making. This jaw-dropping techno-thriller is perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Neal Stephenson, Philip K Dick, Kim Stanley Robinson and RR Haywood.
It's 2050, a decade after a heatwave that killed four hundred million across the Persian Gulf, including journalist Marcus Tully's wife. Now he must uncover the truth: was the disaster natural? Or is the weather now a weapon of genocide?
A whistleblower pulls Tully into a murder investigation at the centre of an election battle for a global dictator, with a mandate to prevent a climate apocalypse. A former US President campaigns against the first AI politician of the position, but someone is trying to sway the outcome.
As the murder of a crucial witness derails the investigation, Tully must find the truth, convince the world to face it and make hard choices about the future of the species. But will humanity ultimately choose salvation over freedom, whatever the cost?

“3.75-4. It took me a while to get into the book and fully grasp the futuristic setting. The first 35% was quite slow in my opinion. I am passionate about humanity’s responsibility towards Mother Earth and the author showcased this meaningfully — amazing. The writing style is unique (perhaps original to the author) and I found myself rereading sentences to fully understand what was being conveyed. I figured out the twists before they happened but nonetheless, the plot was good, especially in the second half and definitely thought-provoking. Overall, if you are interested in a blend of politics, environmental causes and AI that extrapolates on reality, this book is for you!”meg
