A unique twist on existing fears of the singularity, the idea of a truly self-aware AI developing consciousness, and perhaps the first time in the series where murder isn't the start of the investigation. I'm intrigued to see if we get further interaction with The Librarians; there's certainly room for the magical tech introduced to make a reappearance. Still, I think I prefer when Peter's not undercover, and when he's dealing with the more absurdly fantastical than plausibly sci-fi. Happy to report the next in the series seems to be starting out that way! ☺️
