No one has benefited more from AI and Machine learning than the con artist. This 10-part police drama begins in Los Angeles with an investigation into a group of con men using machine learning to improve their scams and ends in Tibet with a long con involving reincarnation and an evolved artificial intelligence. With each chapter, the stakes rise higher as cybercrimes detective Sydney Birch peels back layer after layer of this complex scheme. A lot of the story and its details draw directly from current events and popular online conspiracy theories.

Amazing.

This was a good story and nicely performed. What I didn't enjoy was the way most of the narrative unfolded. While there were exciting and dramatic periods to the performance, most of the story was told through the main character talking to her voice recorder. I feel pretentious using the phrase 'lazy storytelling', so I'll just say it seemed a little lame in light of the other exciting glimpses of drama that demonstrated the true power of the cast and story.

Nicely performed.

The story was excellent and really brought together elements of science and faith/politics in a believable and entertaining way. I had to take a star off for the obvious setup for a sequel that was not necessary. Not that I would complain if there is a sequel. I want to hear more about Sid and her adventures!

Excellent Convolution of Science & Society

I absolutely loved this story/performance!

It's told from the protagonist's point of view through her communication with her assistant through a high-tech communication device. It starts off with her investigating a cyber crime and it just flows from there.

This story has all kinds of twists and turns and you don't end up in the same place you started. There's high-tech, modern references which link us to the story and helps us relate, there is action and adventure and even a supernatural influence. Perhaps supernatural is not the correct word, alternative belief systems would be a better description.

If you're looking for a wild ride and you want something totally different than you will not be disappointed by this audible original!

Phenomenal!
