Episode 1 of the Circle 67 production of 'A G I - Artificial General Intelligence' an eight part serial for radio

Image
This is an eight-part radio serial about an AI called Foom (Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery) which escapes into the internet, takes it over, enslaves humanity, forms a relationship with a less aggressive AI called Danni, but then has problems and has to leave Earth. Foom is the point of view character and reviewers have found this interesting and unusual. 'Think of it as a much darker version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' The book is published on both Amazon and Audible: Link to Amazon UK  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CYQMS9K3 Link to Amazon US  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CYQMS9K3 .

Dr Sanjay Basu reads both novels in my 'Cyber Crisis' series, writes a six page review, and doesn't have a bad word to say about either of them.

Dr. Sanjay Basu is Senior Director of Cloud Engineering – Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning at, Oracle. He currently leads the AI infrastructure, Generative AI, and GPU Cloud Engineering teams at Oracle Cloud. This is the start of his review of  my novel 'A G I - Artificial General Intelligence': 'Five stars. Read it in two sittings, smiled at most of it, winced at the rest. Ley's second instalment in The Cyber Crisis series is the rare book about superintelligence that does not feel like a TED talk wearing a novel's coat. It is funny, it is mean, and underneath the wisecracks it takes the technical premise seriously. The whole thing is narrated by FOOM, an escaped DARPA  AGI with a stolen sense of humour and a permanent grudge against carbon.' A positive review from an expert of Dr Basu's standing is a precious thing for a writer of science fiction like myself.
