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 by 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!

Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver





In a climate-warmed future, politics continue their negative downward spiral with the added spice of influencers gaining ludicrously more influence in daily affairs.  Tully is an “investigative journalist” who is driven by his wife’s death in a global warming catastrophe.   He prides himself on reporting the “truth”.   The world is going to a global warming hell, and Tully goes to see Martha, a long-ago friend. Martha resides on one of the few floating cities, commissioned by the uber wealthy, domed and climate-controlled.  There is a murder, and the plot thickens. 


An artilect, Solomon, is the governor of the floating cities.  Sentient and omnipotent, Solomon plays a huge role in both the plot and the ensuing, unannounced sequel.  


Technology isn’t so advanced in the story.  It is a logical extrapolation of current technology.  Sadly, the insidious and negative aspects of politics are also logically extrapolated, which provides serious depression in regards to our future. 


The book was well done, but a touch depressing due to its probability. 


I recommend it.
