![]() ![]() ![]() You Have Arrived at Your Destination, by Amor Towles (A Gentleman in Moscow) Summer Frost, by Blake Crouch (the Wayward Pines trilogy)Ī video game extra develops a mind of it’s own. It looks more like a best seller list than a collection of stories (Ranked by how strongly they impacted me): You might find your eyes opening a bit.Ĭheck out this amazing line up of authors. It looks at technologies we’re at the beginning of like cloning, quantum mechanics, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence and imagines what the ending might be. This book is part of an anthology called Forward. Artificial Intelligence in our homes, always listening. Computers that can have a phone conversation with a human–without the human knowing they’re talking to a computer. Advertising targeted specifically to you. Or maybe it wouldn’t…I think we’re frogs on the stove top, relaxing in the warm water, not noticing we’re about to boil. Seriously, this stuff would freak you out. As a matter of fact, I’m at a conference this week learning about how science fiction staples like virtual reality, machine learning, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, and data mining are transforming the world of retail–right now. In my professional life, it’s my job to stay close to technology. Written By: Blake Crouch, Veronica Roth, Amor Towles, Paul Tremblay, N.K. ![]()
