How many times have you asked yourself, what if? If youre like most of us, the answer is Too many times to count. A timely story at a major intersection of human and computer connectivity and communication, this novel explores new avenues of self-examination and experimentation. Ryan Jones, a divorced thirty-plus-year-old is looking for answers. His search leads him to a humanlike artificial intelligence program that is incorporated into an advanced virtual reality system. The software program, Stan, helps Ryan explore his past, allowing Ryan to see what could have happened had he made different choices in life.

I had read the first 3 chapters which were available on the Kindle sample and concluded that this book didn't have any depth in its prose. but it was fast paced and had me intrigued. So after my commitment to the full text, it turned out I was right. This book moves along at a rapid pace wasting no time but was ultimately very amateurishly written. I'm surprised at the lack of effort to approach this idea of What If scenarios (which is basically what SF is about) from an intricate and philosophical standpoint, with more complexity and style to the prose.
I'd not call reading this a miserable experience, I think it was good entertainment. But I'm now convinced that I probably can't read something like this ever again.
