Infinity Born

This is near science fiction postulating on the consequences of the birth of Artificial General Intelligence (computer-based intelligence equivalent to human intelligence) and how this will probably be a very short term step on the path to Artificial Super Intelligence at which point humans are no longer the ruling species.

Nicely formulated exploration of this playing out shaped as a thriller.

I generally feel somewhat dirty when reading thrillers. The genre as a whole is generally targeted at the lowest common denominator of the reading public. But this book redeems itself with ideas that are thought provoking and relevant to our times.
