A look back at the future in Click Here for Murder

October is my bookiversary! Hop over to my blog post for some good deals and a summary of the different series that I have on the go. If you have only read one or two series or haven’t yet ventured into any of them, now is a great time to start!

Also Halloween is coming soon, and I will have some great Halloween deals for you later on in the week. Be sure to check back!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

Click Here for Murder by Donna Andrews has been a fun and clever read so far. The main narrator (it has multiple points of view) is an AI personality that has gained sentience. I have not read book one in the Turing Hopper series, but there is enough backstory for me to understand the main points of what has happened prior to this story. I have read some of Donna Andrews’ Meg Langslow series, which is quite good.

Click Here for Murder was published in 2003 and is set sometime in an imagined future where AI Personalities are used. Since it was written before 2002, the technology discussed is either obsolete now (cell phones without cameras, lower resolution first person multiplayer games (because high res would take too long to download, etc.) or have never come to fruition (the ability to examine a computer hard drive at the molecular level to see everything that was ever written to it even if it was overwritten, sentient technology, etc.)) It is interesting to look at how AI technology is used now versus how Andrews imagined it might be.

One way or another, he’d find out Monday.
