De: Scott Meyer

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

What's worse than a child with a magnifying glass, a garden full of ants, and a brilliant mind full of mischief?

Try Al, a well-meaning but impish artificial intelligence with the mind of a six-year-old and a penchant for tantrums. Hope Takeda, a lab assistant charged with educating and socializing Al, soon discovers that day care is a lot more difficult when your kid is an evolving and easily frightened A.I.

When Al manages to access the Internet and escape the lab days before his official unveiling, Hope and her team embark on a mission to contain him - before he causes any real trouble.

Soon the NSA is on Al's back, the US Army is fighting a brigade of mass-produced robots, and a wannabe cyberterrorist is looking to silence Al permanently. After months spent "raising" Al, Hope knows she's running out of time - and she's not sure she'll be able to protect him. Will she manage to control the unruly A.I. and quell a global crisis, or will Al outsmart them once and for all?

Another amazing success!

Mybe we just have a very similar sense of humor; whatever the case may be, Meyer has a way of making a story extremely entertaining, funny, and original. I couldn't stop listening until the whole book was finished.

Can't wait until the next book by Meyer!

off-putting at first, fantastic once in.

Narrator sounds odd in sample. The narrator is odd at first and takes some getting used to but once accustomed she does a fantastic job. Fantastic story great ending!

Probably one of the best potentials

I won't spoil it, but I will say I very much enjoyed this book and an glad to see AI getting some well deserved attention in this way. =)

Fun read!

The story is very well written, engaging characters, and the narrator conveys the storyline very well.

Wrong narrator!

A decent story, though not nearly as delightful as Meyer’s Magic 2.0 series. The problem was the narrator, who was way too gruffly serious for the tongue-in-cheek style of the author. All the jokes fell flat, and her narrative inflection was just plain weird, most especially when saying the word “said.” I’ve never heard that word so overemphasized before. It was distracting. Her character voices were quite good. I’d listen to her read about kidnapping or espionage. Nothing lighter than that, though.
