This is a fantastic book. It probably helps to be a bit of a software geek though to understand parts of it. It describes very accurately what it's like to work in a software startup. I enjoyed the scenes of the SF Bay area since that's where I spent my working life.
The concepts of distributed parallel processing were fascinating. Makes me want to jump back in to developing some software again. Of course it brings up essential questions about whether we can make AI too smart. We will have to see ...more

Couldn’t put it down. Incredibly engaging story and beautiful writing. Techie enough without being overdone. Good balance between action and caring about the characters, which is rare in this genre. Waiting for the sequel.
Really good read. I liked the way the author spun his web and introduced what he saw AI doing. The possibility of what it can do is creepy and creative.
Read this book.
Great story
Interesting. Exciting. Fun. Page-turner. I really enjoyed this book and am eagerly looking forward to the promised sequel. Worth reading!
