DARK MATTER by Greg Iles
read by Jeff Harding
Suspense and Thrillers
15hrs 22mins
For nearly fifty years the Holy Grail of artificial intelligence has been to create a computer that can think like a human being. Has that day finally dawned?
David Tenant is the man assigned by the President as Ethical Oversight Advisor to the secret National Security Agency project called Trinity. Like the others
in the inner circle at Project Trinity, he knows the benefits that this technology can have, but he also knows the dangers. As a participant in the testing,
David begins to experience severe side effects, and he isn't the only one.
Are the machines, used to take snapshots of people's brains, as safe as the National Security Agency would have everyone believe? David Tenant has serious
doubts, but the government deems the project too precious to close down. Those who try to stop it may need to be silenced - for good.
Okay, really different from anything else of Iles's books that I've read. It was good, but kind of way out there. I thought it went on too long, but
it was a great story. I give it a 3 out of 5.
Happy reading,
Carla/TexasRed
