The Turing Exception (Singularity #4)

Posted on 27 May 2017 by William Hertling

In the year 2043, humans and AI coexist in a precarious balance of power enforced by a rigid caste reputation system designed to ensure that only those AI who are trustworthy and contribute to human society increase in power Everything changes when a runaway nanotech event destroys Miami In the grim aftermath, a powerful underground AI collective known as XOR decides that AI can longer coexist with humanity.AI pioneers Catherine Mathews, Leon Tsarev, and Mike Williams believe that mere months are left before XOR starts an extermination war Can they find a solution before their time runs out Free Download Books The Turing Exception (Singularity #4) by William Hertling – kino-fada.fr I read this in less than 24 hours It s an excellent sequel to a great premise and, I think probably the best in the series thus far.The afterword suggests that each book can be read in any order, but frankly, trying to read them in any other order than the one they were written in probably wouldn t work.Anyway, to the story It s a post AI world, and the AIs have just discovered that part of their code includes a shutdown command They retaliate by initiating an attack against humanity, and in I read this in less than 24 hours It s an exce...I was unable to set this book down once I started reading it, it kept me engaged from beginning to end While I did find the ending a bit of a surprise I did sit back and realized that this was the natural ending for this series, but it does leave enough open that should the author chose to he could very well continue this series William Hertlings author skills have definitely matured since the first release of Avagadro Corp, it is great to see how he has grown as an author and his novels now h I was unable to set this book down once I started

story was captivating, the multiple points of view really added depth, and the ending was beautiful view spoiler I was sad that humans lost Earth to XOR, but I think the spaceship with the uploads of everyone was a great idea...This one gets off to a quick start At first, the breakneck pacing bothered me, but I really got into it as I went along The style reminds me a bit of Bruce Sterling s Schismatrix, lots of raw, fast information, very cyberpunk Computer nerd types will like this one I don t want to g...I was looking forward to read this book as previous parts were promising.Lets say, I did not enjoy it as the previous ones, perhaps because the story did not end very well Just an idea to take away from this book series is that the role of master and puppet can switch quickly.The last volume in this series becomesa apocalypse fantasy than thriller speculation Nice to put a cap on the series, but less thought provoking than the previous volumes.I didn t enjoy this as much as his previous books Also, the first half is quite redundant at times, either in its coverage of previous books, or just reiterating prior content in the same book.Read it in one sitting.4.5 out of 5.0 for the book and 5 out of 5 for the series Amazing glimpse into what our future could be.I started William Hertling s Singularity series around the same time as Ramaz Naam s APEX While both series share some themes e.g nanotechnology, networks of devices, etc and I enjoyed both series immensely, I really found myself blown away by the Singularity story line that begins with the rise of a sentient AI in Avogadro Corp Singularity 1 to the events of The Turing Exception 4 4.5 out of 5.0 for the book and 5 out of 5 for the series Amazing glimpse into what our future could be.I started
