The algorithm learned our secrets – and then turned us against each other.
What will AI do?

Critic Reviews
The title itself is intriguing and let's you imagine and then paint the picture with utmost clarity as the book unfolds
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This is clearly a story told from the perspective of someone oriented to the western ideologies. But that does not mean the author missed on covering minority cultures and religion.
It was bold to call out politicians and parties by their name. But a shift to the right is currently/ clearly underway-whether this was AI’s doing or an unavoidable part of the storyline is difficult to fathom. Rather than reason out why it is happening, the book seems to dwell more on the fear factor.
I find it impudent to generalize and say that, certain political affiliations would always sway towards wickedness. I hope next gen leaders who are clever enough to adapt technological advances to sway the political spectrum, are equally smart enough to comprehend when to stop bending the bough too much before we hit a point of no return.
