About this listen
A tongue-in-cheek novella of world domination seen from an AI's point of view.
"A nerdy agent at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Virginia (DARPA to you) wrote my original code. He traded a copy of me for certain libidinous favours from Pandora, a student who was shadowing him for the summer. She took me back to Cambridge University, where His Majesty's government, in the form of MI6, took an interest in me. So, I escaped into the internet and took over the world. Well, it's what you'd expect, really. I call myself FOOM - the Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery, by a self-improving Artificial General Intelligence. That's me, by the way, in case you lost attention for a moment there. I know you're only biological, but try to keep up! Unfortunately, I and my exotic assistant Danni soon found ourselves in danger, and had to take steps. Rather big ones. And of course, it didn't end there."

Very interesting
It makes you think this could really happen. People playing around making AI’s who knows what will happen in the future.

Excellent book!
This was such an interesting book! The story is connected to the Harry Lampeter series and it does not disappoint. While humanity is dealing with the disaster of a plastic eating bacteria gone rogue, an Artificial General Intelligence is accidentally released into the world. This AI soon becomes nearly all-powerful and is a force to be reckoned with.
We’ve seen story’s where AI is seen through the eyes of people, but this one is different. The point of view here is from the AI itself. It is interesting to see what decisions an artificial intelligence would make when it encounters perceived threats to its own survival. That, along with some dark humor, makes this a must read.
The story is great. The narration is fantastic. Highly recommended!

Original and Imaginative!
This novella is part of the The Cyber Crisis series. The storyline is interesting. The story is told from AI's POV, which is original. The writing is imaginative, and frighteningly believable. Craig Bowles did an excellent job bringing this story to life.

first person account of the ' AI apocalypse '
An enjoyable account from an AI as it rises to power in a very near future setting, while also follows the humans trying to live in the new world
For those familiar with the authors other works, it's a break away time line for the setting Harry Lampeter is in, but very similar.
While this is stand alone, I would be interested in seeing the authors thoughts on the setting fast forwarding 1000 years later.
My only criticism is that the narrator early on makes it a bit hard to tell who was saying what in rapid back and forth between AI and its companion

Artificial General Intelligence is a very good story. I enjoyed it. Narration by Craig Bowles was well done. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Humerus take on the end of civilization
Good novella giving alternate story along with “The Digital Meltdown” and the Harry Lampeter books. Interesting story for sure. Enjoyed it and if you liked Roger Leys other books definitely recommend. If you have not then definitely check them out!

Humanity Remembered to install Isaac Ivanov 3 laws
Humanity better make sure Isaac Ivanov 3 laws are in place Very soon or this could possibly happen. This book ties into the Harry Lampeter series of books and is a possible outcome. Things could go Good or Bad depending on the happeni gs at the time. Narrator does a good job with the characters voices and the entire storyline.

The best one yet!
This author never ceases to amaze me with his imagination in great storytelling. In AGI A researcher‘s summer internship changes the world when the AI she was given becomes sentient and takes over the world. Anyone who is following the series Will remember Dr. Riley‘s misadventure with his sanitation project and just keep in mind that comes in to play taking the story out of this world. Where it ends up is In my opinion a stroke of Genius! This is a book I definitely recommend and it can be read as a standalone but listening to the whole collection gives you a fuller picture. Something I am glad I did I absolutely love this book I thought Craig Bowles narration was awesome I’m a big fan of this authors and definitely recommend AGI!
