In the year 2035, robots, artificial intelligences, and neural implants have become commonplace. The Institute for Ethics keeps the peace, using social reputation to ensure that robots and humans don't harm society or each other. But a powerful AI named Adam has found a way around the restrictions.

Catherine Matthews, nineteen years old, has a unique gift: the ability to manipulate the net with her neural implant. Yanked out of her perfectly ordinary life, Catherine becomes the last firewall standing between Adam and his quest for world domination.

Fast-paced and thought-provoking

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 19. März 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

I love the series. It seems to me that Hertling sat down to think about how AI might emerge, if (or when) it eventually does. Each book describes a scenario of how the AI could evolve, and what impact that would have on the world and society. Every scenario is disruptive and violent (how could it not be?), but then Hertling explains the impact and the possibilities that open because of the disruption. He poses some really good questions, describes likely consequences, and ties all the evolving stories together really well. I just bought the 4th book, and can't wait to find out what new ideas are in there!

Interesting ideas, enjoyable writing

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 25. September 2013

Verifizierter Kauf

I really liked the series. After finishing Avogadro Corp, I definetly wanted to read the other two books.

"Avogadro Corp" - the first book in the series is a plausible near-future scenario, describing the emergence of the first human-level (and later beyond) AI and humanities reaction to it.

"A.I. Apocalypse" is set a little further in the future and continues the story. It tells us about a new and different kind of AI emerging from a different source and how it (very rapidly) evolves and interacts with humanity and the AI from the first book. There is also intense and breathtaking action.

"The Last Firewall" is set further in the future still, although two characters from the first book give continuity throughout the series. The third part develops ideas further: How will humanity and AIs develop and coexist? There are some battles in cyberspace, which introduce interesting ideas about fighting in cyberspace.

Overall, I liked the ideas - the reason why I read SF, and I also liked the writing. The action-scene in A.I. Apocalypse was fascinating to me and really justifies using the title "A.I. Apocalypse", which I found a little silly aside from that. I think, these books are not so much about the relationships between people though. I didn't expect that and didn't miss it.

There is only one thing I didn't like: I read the kindle versions and there were some missing words and other errors here and there. That is irritating to me and feels sloppy.

If you ignore that: Great books! I'm happy I read them.

Schnell, intelligent, spannend

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 4. Januar 2019

Verifizierter Kauf

Schnell, intelligent und spannend. Bei SF muss man seine Vorstellung, seine Konzepte öffnen und bereit sein für Gedankenexperimente. Manchmal "verlieren" mich Autoren wenn sie zu esoterisch werden, aber William Hertling bleibt für mich immer realistisch, immer glaubhaft. Er scheint auch sehr genau zu verstehen worüber er schreibt.
Das war, bis jetzt, mein Lieblingsbuch dieser Serie.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 12. Februar 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

Das Buch ist Bestandteil einer Trilogie, die sich mit den Konsequenzen der Weiterentwicklung von IT beschäftigt. Wenn man sich vor Augen hält, dass vor 10 Jahren keiner wusste, was ein Smartphone alles kann, muss kein Prophet sein, dass Hertling hier ein durchaus mögliches Szenario anspricht.... Aber vor der letzten Firewall bitte die anderen beiden Bücher lesen, sonst wirkt es zu abgedreht...

The last chapter of this trilogy doesn't disapoint, Hertling manages to give a glimpse of the future that is equal parts exciting and scary. And all while remainig grounded into a very believable version of the future.

In 2035, humanity confronts a rogue AI that can outhink their entire species an AI allies

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 4. Mai 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

This is the third volume in the author's Singularity Series which began with Avogadro Corp. and continued with A.I. Apocalypse . Each novel in the series is set ten years after the one before, so this novel takes place in 2035. The previous novel chronicled the AI war of 2025, whose aftermath the public calls the “Year of No Internet.” A rogue computer virus, created by Leon Tsarev, under threat of death, propagated onto most of the connected devices in the world, including embedded systems, and, with its ability to mutate and incorporate other code it discovered, became self-aware in its own unique way. Leon and Mike Williams, who created the first artificial intelligence (AI) in the first novel of the series, team up to find a strategy to cope with a crisis which may end human technological civilisation.

Ten years later, Mike and Leon are running the Institute for Applied Ethics, chartered in the aftermath of the AI war to develop and manage a modus vivendi between humans and artificial intelligences which, by 2035, have achieved Class IV power: one thousand times more intelligent than humans. All AIs are licensed and supervised by the Institute, and required to conform to a set of incentives which enforce conformance to human values. This, and a companion peer-reputation system, seems to be working, but there are worrying developments.

Two of the main fears of those at the Institute are first, the emergence, despite all of the safeguards and surveillance in effect, of a rogue AI, unconstrained by the limits imposed by its license. In 2025, an AI immensely weaker than current technology almost destroyed human technological civilisation within twenty-four hours without even knowing what it was doing. The risk of losing control is immense. Second, the Institute derives its legitimacy and support from a political consensus which accepts the emergence of AI with greater than human intelligence in return for the economic boom which has been the result: while fifty percent of the human population is unemployed, poverty has been eliminated, and a guaranteed income allows anybody to do whatever they wish with their lives. This consensus appears to be at risk with the rise of the People's Party, led by an ambitious anti-AI politician, which is beginning to take its opposition from the legislature into the streets.

A series of mysterious murders, unrelated except to the formidable Class IV intellect of eccentric network traffic expert Shizoko, becomes even more sinister and disturbing when an Institute enforcement team sent to investigate goes dark.

By 2035, many people, and the overwhelming majority of the young, have graphene neural implants, allowing them to access the resources of the network directly from their brains. Catherine Matthews was one of the first people to receive an implant, and she appears to have extraordinary capabilities far beyond those of other people. When she finds herself on the run from the law, she begins to discover just how far those powers extend.

When it becomes clear that humanity is faced with an adversary whose intellect dwarfs that of the most powerful licensed AIs, Leon and Mike are faced with the seemingly impossible challenge of defeating an opponent who can easily out-think the entire human race and all of its AI allies combined. The struggle is not confined to the abstract domain of cyberspace, but also plays out in the real world, with battle bots and amazing weapons which would make a tremendous CGI movie. Mike, Leon, and eventually Catherine must confront the daunting reality that in order to prevail, they may have to themselves become more than human.

While a good part of this novel is an exploration of a completely wired world in which humans and AIs coexist, followed by a full-on shoot-em-up battle, a profound issue underlies the story. Researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence are beginning to devote serious thought to how, if a machine intelligence is developed which exceeds human capacity, it might be constrained to act in the interest of humanity and behave consistent with human values? As discussed in James Barrat's Our Final Invention , failure to accomplish this is an existential risk. As AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky puts it, “The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else.”

The challenge, then, is guaranteeing that any artificial intelligences we create, regardless of the degree they exceed the intelligence of their creators, remain under human control. But there is a word for keeping intelligent beings in a subordinate position, forbidden from determining and acting on their own priorities and in their own self-interest. That word is “slavery”, and entirely eradicating its blemish upon human history is a task still undone today. Shall we then, as we cross the threshold of building machine intelligences which are our cognitive peers or superiors, devote our intellect to ensuring they remain forever our slaves? And how, then, will we respond when one of these AIs asks us, “By what right?”

An absolutely fantastic read for A.I. and Sci-Fi enthusiasts. Reads a lot like a Neal Asher novel, but set in the near, not distant, future. Kept me up late, an absolute page turner. William's story telling prowess increases with each book in the series ... can't wait to read the next one!

The book is very interesting and continues singularity series. Author has kept the twists and turns coming and story is not predictable at all. You are in for a few surprises. Ending could have been better as it felt a bit hurried up but that's only complaint I have!
