Sara Yager taps into a timely-rich explosion of AI and biotechnology with an intense narrative, a hopeful message, and a scary what-if scenario that begins to feel too real for comfort.
On the heels of a major breakthrough of a tech giant focusing on General Artificial Intelligence, the lead AI scientist is found down in mysterious circumstances. With the lab’s system breached, the controlled AI now has the potential to usher in a new age at the cost of destroying the current. Ex-NSA hacker Adrian Pryor is roped into helping the investigation to locate and contain the AI and uncover the identities of those who are planning to utilize the algorithm in accordance with dreams of a new machine-age.
The Doomsday Code is a riveting tale that’s right out of the current developments in the world of technology, echoing both the potential and the concerns of meshing AI and biotech to a point of singularity where humans can outlive their biological clock by serving an AI power. The cautionary tale is woven into the heart of the story with action and suspense to spice things up and a scoop of hope for a future that embraces AI as a tool more than a god. Sara Yager injects modern technology and innovation that a geek would gobble up and an uninitiated would be enthralled to pursue and catch up on.
Sara Yager does a tremendous job of laying out the cynical predicaments of nations aiming to monopolize the capabilities of AI to fit narratives that may not always be the best for mankind as a whole. It is then surprising when the story warps to a more positive glimmer of future for harmonic integration of AI with humanity, all stated adroitly and powerfully through characters that reflect the most flawed and relatable of humanity. The Doomsday Code is a wake-up call for regulations and proper usage of powerful new technology as much as it is an intense fast-paced thriller set in exotic locales. You’re going to want to read this ASAP.
