In Atlanta, Dr. Peyton Shaw is awakened by the phone call she has dreaded for years. As the CDC's leading epidemiologist, she's among the first responders to outbreaks around the world. It's a lonely and dangerous job, but it's her life - and she's good at it. This time she may have met her match. In Kenya, an Ebola-like pathogen has infected two Americans. One lies at death's door. With the clock ticking, Peyton assembles her team and joins personnel from the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the WHO.

Predictable ending
Revisado: 08-09-17
Dissapointing ending to an otherwise interesting concept. The end of this first book is intellectually weak and predictable

CompWare is in serious trouble after a promised merger falls through, so they do what other businesses have done to bolster their public image: They hire a consulting firm to review and streamline their business practices.

Sadistic story with poor ending
Revisado: 06-11-16
Hard to listen with increasingly violent narrative. The end leaves one wondering what was the point of listening to an almost sadistic story.

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Nick Hornby's hilarious coming-of-age novel Slam, read by Nicholas Hoult, star of the films About a Boy and Warm Bodies, as well as Channel 4's Skins. 'There was this time when everything seemed to have come together. And so obviously it was time to go and screw it all up.' Sam is sixteen and a skater. Just so there are no terrible misunderstandings: skating = skateboarding.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Narration is horrible
Revisado: 09-20-14
Would you consider the audio edition of Superintelligence to be better than the print version?
No. This is not a novel and the narrator acts the book where I just want him to read the book. The narrator adds his own exclamation marks on words he thinks are important to highlight. The strong English accent (and I am British) makes the book feel highbrow in a bad way. Very annoying.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Superintelligence?
The owl fable in the beginning
Would you be willing to try another one of Napoleon Ryan’s performances?
No
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Terminator (oh wait that one has been made already)
