Publisher's summary

Four scientists, born in four different countries, come together in an attempt to develop a technology for the transfer of a human mind, including its consciousness and memories, onto an ultrafast neuromorphic network. They believe that their success can save mankind from a dystopian future while avoiding a Frankenstein-type AI disaster. The team's work is not made simpler by its three male members falling in love, one by one, with their female colleague. When one of them falls terminally ill, their project is moved underground and intensified....

The author is a professional scientist and engineer with firsthand knowledge of the described hardware technology and broad interests in related fields. As a result, this book is a semi-sci-fi, semi-popular-science combo, with a portion of layman-language (and hence understandable) social-economic philosophy on the side.

Several technical terms mentioned in the book are explained in the Footnote section at the end of the narration.

Great listen

I was thoroughly captivated by this story from start to end. Love how technical it gets and how deeply it dives into the technology behind the transfer.

It was disappointed by the abrupt ending though. Feels like the author didn’t know where to take it next or was forced to finish the story prematurely.

Despite that I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more from the same author in the future.
