Autogenesis

Let There Be Gods, Book 1

De: David Sikter

Narrado por: Luke Pelletier

The year is 2048, and Anders Helmemyr has just started studying computer science in Uppsala, Sweden. Amidst political activism, a complicated love life, and the thrills of student nightlife, he meets Niklas, a computer genius who began his PhD in artificial intelligence at the age of 18.

Niklas has a secret: He’s conducting illegal research on a home-built neurosimulator, trying to create an artificial consciousness–a program that thinks and feels like humans do. Anders is drawn into the project, and together they develop Niklas’ brainchild, Leo. However, neither of them knows just what the repercussions for their creation will be. Politics, and life as they know it, are about to change for all time.

Autogenesis is the first book from Swedish computer scientist and sci-fi writer David Sikter’s epic trilogy Let There Be Gods, a compelling and evocative vision of the future of humanity in the age of sentient machines.

Much philosophizing, not much story

This felt like the author was simply thinking out loud, philosophizing about society, politics, general AI, with hints of maybe some day having the ability to upload our minds to a machine.

The story line is thin and the characters nonexistent. Simplistic dialogue.

The narration was at times painfully amateurish.

Not worth a credit.

Not for me

I’d prefer more about the ai project and less personal story. If if if if if
