Unprompted
Maxwell Page has a life-changing event that makes him question everything he has come to understand about the world and how he has lived his life. Up until that point, Artificial Intelligence had never steered him wrong. For years, Max had diligently adhered to the suggestions by AI ranging from what socks to wear, what type of employment he should seek, and now, whom he should love. Does Max continue down his road of making impossibly perfect life decisions with the aid of AI, or does he throw caution to the wind and become his own guiding light?

Big brother aka Iris
I liked how the author made me think about all The fears I heard when I was in my twenties. Everyone was so worried that "Big Brother" was secretly obtaining their information. Now we have ideas about AI having too much info on us.
This book uses an AI named Iris to tell people what to think and do through a wearable. Some people decide to show their rebellion.

outstanding storytelling
This story will bring chills to your bones from how true it rings and how cold this dystopian (or not) future is!

Great AGI story.
I like the unique level, pace, and flow of the writing - it was a bit odd at the start but perfect for the story.

Nice quick novella. What I really liked was, as soon Iris' nanny dialog became grating as a reader, the author properly had the MC to ditch it. Then it was smooth sailing.
It's a debut novella, so I'm not going to harsh on it, but a bit of Iris' purposefully computerized cadence, might have leaked into the other characters, and descriptions, but overall it wasn't bad. A bit too much show rather than tell, and a little handwave of 'major societal change'. But if you go into it as a thought experiment, you will certainly appreciate it.

Super short book. Not terribly in depth or fleshed out but provides an interesting speculation on the ways that humans and AI can evolve and how moral complacency can arise in the search of efficiency and convenience. Fun little book
