Publisher's summary

A tongue-in-cheek novella of world domination seen from an AI's point of view.

"A nerdy agent at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Virginia (DARPA to you) wrote my original code. He traded a copy of me for certain libidinous favours from Pandora, a student who was shadowing him for the summer. She took me back to Cambridge University, where His Majesty's government, in the form of MI6, took an interest in me. So, I escaped into the internet and took over the world. Well, it's what you'd expect, really. I call myself FOOM - the Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery, by a self-improving Artificial General Intelligence. That's me, by the way, in case you lost attention for a moment there. I know you're only biological, but try to keep up! Unfortunately, I and my exotic assistant Danni soon found ourselves in danger, and had to take steps. Rather big ones. And of course, it didn't end there."

Excellent book!

This was such an interesting book! The story is connected to the Harry Lampeter series and it does not disappoint. While humanity is dealing with the disaster of a plastic eating bacteria gone rogue, an Artificial General Intelligence is accidentally released into the world. This AI soon becomes nearly all-powerful and is a force to be reckoned with.

We’ve seen story’s where AI is seen through the eyes of people, but this one is different. The point of view here is from the AI itself. It is interesting to see what decisions an artificial intelligence would make when it encounters perceived threats to its own survival. That, along with some dark humor, makes this a must read.

The story is great. The narration is fantastic. Highly recommended!

The best one yet!

This author never ceases to amaze me with his imagination in great storytelling. In AGI A researcher‘s summer internship changes the world when the AI she was given becomes sentient and takes over the world. Anyone who is following the series Will remember Dr. Riley‘s misadventure with his sanitation project and just keep in mind that comes in to play taking the story out of this world. Where it ends up is In my opinion a stroke of Genius! This is a book I definitely recommend and it can be read as a standalone but listening to the whole collection gives you a fuller picture. Something I am glad I did I absolutely love this book I thought Craig Bowles narration was awesome I’m a big fan of this authors and definitely recommend AGI!

Super Funny Tech Critique, in SyFy Plot Form

Super Funny Tech Critique, in SyFy Plot Form

An AI, with US DOD and Oxbridge roots, takes over the world. But, the book is super funny as an insightful humorous critique of our tech dependent culture. As someone who fears the damages that can be caused by my automated automatic operating system updates, I see AI take over as a real monstor. Craig Bowles is the perfect narrator for this story and for the works of author Roger Ley. Audiobook is very well done. 5 stars.

A G I: Artificial General Intelligence
Harry Lampeter and the Return to Steam
By: Roger Ley
Narrated by: Craig Bowles

A fun quick listen. AI evolution leads to world domination. Science and scientist make things happen. Self awareness and elimination of the competition. Could it happen?

Great team of author and narrator.

I was given a free review copy of this book, and I am leaving an honest review of my own free will.
