Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - leaves criminal court behind for his first civil lawsuit. But to him, this is still a murder trial.

An AI company's chatbot encouraged a sixteen-year-old boy to kill his ex-girlfriend. Can Haller prove the company knew the dangers of its own creation?

To do so, he turns to Jack McEvoy - a journalist who knows how powerful the coming wave will be - and together they soon uncover a whistleblower in hiding.

As the tech titans try to buy or bully their way out, the scale of their courtroom battle before them becomes clear. Because billions are at stake - along with countless lives - in an all or nothing case, which could change everything...

From the author of the books behind the #1 Netflix show The Lincoln Lawyer, and #1 Amazon Prime series Bosch and Ballard.

It dealt with misgivings that people have about AI and it’s unknown unknown. Very thought provoking.

Another brilliant novel

Maybe not the best Lincoln lawyer book, but it has almost everything I love in this series: interesting court facts, unpredictable twists, cool characters. Recommend!

Great as usual

the story takes you as usual with other Lincoln Lawyer stories but this one gets even more interesting as take the attention to questions about generative AI that we have today.

A Fruit for thought

Enjoyed it, very well produced and I couldn’t stop listening. The subject is very scary, I am glad my children are all grown up But the artificial intelligence on a program like WhatsApp can make me pull my hair out, and I don’t know how to get rid of it.

Very good and gripping about a really scary subject
