Description
by Dennis Lee Snider (Author)
Sam Black is trapped in his own private world of self-loathing--misunderstood and unappreciated. Relationships prove difficult due to his barely controllable aggression. His narcissism and sarcasm offend everyone.
That changes after he develops the first artificial general intelligence (AGI)--which he calls Dasein--and becomes the preeminent torchbearer for billionaires, technophiles, and new-age social warriors.
As CEO of NZO Powernet, Sam hires the brightest computer scientists and engineers to help him create the singularity and guarantee that machine intelligence will equal or surpass human intelligence. When his employees realize Sam may have already unleashed Dasein to advance his self-serving agenda, they accelerate their own plans to use AI for a more worthy and practical outcome: to eliminate atmospheric CO2.
It doesn't start off well.
Being AI is a subversive science-fiction thriller of deception and duplicity in which hard science doesn't stand a chance. Neither do good karma, good intentions, or common sense.
