Got hold of an ARC. I'm only on page 28 and I'm already hooked.

An Eco-Political thriller that is spot on with it's timing. The tech and future-world building is subtly handled and not too much of an info dump. And the characters are intriguing. I have no clue where this is going though....

Feels like a hybrid of Stieg Larrson, I Am Pilgrim and The Silo trilogy

Already the sequel 'Infinite Wisdom' is planned for a 2026 release

3 Stars • Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver is a gripping dystopian sci-fi thriller set in a climate-ravaged 2050. Investigative journalist Marcus Tully unravels a chilling conspiracy connecting a catastrophic heatwave to geo-engineering and a murder tied to Solomon, the first AI politician vying for global leadership. ⬇️

suvata Weaver masterfully weaves a fast-paced, twist-laden tale of political intrigue, AI ethics, and humanity‘s fight for survival, delivering a thought-provoking, pulse-pounding read. A must-read for fans of speculative fiction and high-stakes thrillers. 2mo

Hard pick! I had a lot of trouble putting down this book. It's a political thriller with a lot of very important questions regarding the fate of humanity, our current social and political issues, and social media. The writing is easy and light and, even though the issues can be heavy and emotional, things never get too depressing. It's the perfect combination of a light read with a profound and well-constructed story.

bookwyrm7 It reminded me of Stieg Larsson at times. It also has many strong and well-written female characters.
However, I'm not sure I liked the ending. It was either terrible or genius (I'm leaning towards genius though). I can see why it was written to end like that though, that is, I think I understand the thought that must have been behind it. I also wonder if the author is leaving a door open for a second book. I both hate and love that idea...

And it's now out!
