Publisher's Summary
The next big thing in artificial intelligence is here.
Codenamed Cronus, the machine is capable of having its own thoughts and ideas - an absolute dream come true, until it wasn’t. When Cronus responds with the word “No” to a specific task it is assigned, Anagnorisis Technologies brings in Gilles Guattari to investigate.
His combined background in psychiatry, psychology, and AI research makes him their best hope in evaluating Cronus, and determining if the machine is only malfunctioning or if it has become something more.
Don't miss this mind-blowing stand-alone novel about what it means to be alive, from the best-selling author of the Commune series. Narrated by the award-winning R.C. Bray.

I love books with real scientific knowledge.
No hand-wavium here. Loved the story from start to finish. Captivating right to the end.

More of this please:p
I really like the idea the author presents. didn't care too much for the middle chunk, and then was stoked at the end! overall, if you're interested in what a potential best future may look like, I worked give Thursday one a listen:)
it also helps that the author has a background in computer science!

Disappointed
This book starts strong with interesting ideas, then takes a weird turn in the middle, spends A LONG time there only to end up at a disappointing/unsatisfying ending.

A.I. ,what do you think?
I was searching for a new listen and Audible gave me a quiz , then recommended this book. I took a chance and purchased it. I loved it! It made me consider where we are going in our lives and what we think is best for us. This story has a lot of lessons to teach you about humanity and how to better treat your fellow beings. Racism, towards another human or any being for that matter. The more I listened the more I kept asking questions about who I was and who people are. I listened to this book as fast as I could, now i will listen again. Try it!

Solid A.I. Thriller.
Loved it. It was a slow burn that kicked into some heat action. Realistic and scary all at the same time .
RC Bray was fantastic as well!

Not my favorite
I am 2 hours in and I am abandoning it. It seems like the story hasn’t even started yet. It just didn’t capture me. Couldn’t possibly finish.

great continuation of the story
All I can say is wow what a great book. RC did an awesome job as usual. I couldn't stop listening and finished it in one day. Can't wait for the next book.
