Three Laws Lethal

By: David Walton

Narrated by: Shawn Compton

A science fiction thriller in which fleets of self-driving cars make life-and-death choices

In a near-future New York City, where self-driving cars roam the city streets, rival entrepreneurs Brandon and Tyler compete to produce the smartest AIs, training them in a virtual game world to anticipate traffic and potential customers better than the competition. As the two rivals struggle to dominate the market, their personal enmity pushes them to attack each other's reputations, hack each other's cars, and develop ever more sophisticated algorithms to keep their customers safe. The result? Intelligent computers that excel at using all available data to determine which humans should live, and which should die.

Only Naomi, inventor of the virtual world in which the AIs train, recognizes that they are developing goals of their own - goals for which they are willing to kill. But will she stop them, or will she help her creations achieve their full potential?

Enjoyed

Great read, and good story. Dialogue occassionally seemed a bit forced and some conclusions were pretty obvious but otherwise very enjoyable.

Nice setting

Loved the combination of story lines. The idea of knowing the mind of people and the AI. Obvious end, but entertaining. Want to read more.
Btw, great abstract concepts about sensing, intelligence and soul. All in a great story.

entertaining and thought provoking

an amazing listen. the concepts discussed din the books are thing we will definitely be working out in the very near future.

Good story

It started slow, but eventually it hooked me. It hooked me in so well that I could ignore some highly questionable and illogical happenings along with a weak ending (which was too pat and left too many questions). I give it four stars, but it could've been a 5 star.

AI explored from multiple vantage points

Realistic, evolving story of programmers who create an AI and the subsequent consequences. Unpredictable and engaging, this may just be my new fav book. Includes references to great science fi lit. A must read for the any scientific fi fan.
