Synopsis

It's the "bleeding edge" of science: Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human duplicates. The result? The Parahuman, a crucial resource for the rich, the famous, and top political leaders. But the technology spread rapidly without oversight. Hollywood re-creates megastars from the golden era to save itself from bankruptcy; organized crime kingpins can be in two places at the same time; political leaders can send their Parahuman duplicate into places too dangerous for any human to enter. But what happens when AI develops its own personality--and objectives?  Michael Benchley, FBI Deputy Director of Science and Technology, is in a race against time that leads him to Hollywood, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and ultimately to the White House. As the U.S. Senate seeks to define this new form of "life," and to shield the Parahumans from abuse, the creatures achieve gain-of-function beyond anyone's anticipation. It's a scenario closer to reality than you think!

There were times I felt the technology and science bits were above my head and some of the dialogue felt unnatural. The chapters were a bit long, so buckle in if you like a......more

This is a great read! I'm a sci-fi fan and also a Christian. Many authors fail miserably at presenting an accurate picture of Christian beliefs along with a science fiction premise. Hulkenburg does an effective job exposing Christian principles without judging or pushing them on the reader. Christia......more
