Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Moral Code by Lois and Ross Melbourne



This is one of those rare books that is an entertaining read and thought-provoking simultaneously.  My own novels are set in the far future and AIs are ubiquitous in that context.  In this book, AIs are utilized but not self-aware.  The authors postulate an operating system that has an intrinsic moral imperative.   Their characters define morality in the context of worldwide societal samplings.   Combining the impact of artificial intelligence with self-replicating nanotechnology provides a plot framework that resonates with modern research.

The impact of corporate raiding and overwhelming greed provides the requisite villains to the story.   Roy is an Elon Musk type innovator without real-life flaws.

Keira demonstrates how good intentions can lead to skirting legal restraints and personal morality.

This review is somewhat circumspect as I wish to avoid spoilers.

I really enjoyed this book and it provided a wealth of introspection.
