An FBI agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of the future in this ground-breaking book - at once a gripping techno-thriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow. 

America is on the brink of a revolution, one both technological and political. The science fiction of AI and robotics has finally come true, but millions are angry and fearful that the future has left them behind. 

After narrowly stopping a bombing at Washington’s Union Station, FBI Special Agent Lara Keegan receives a new assignment: To field-test an advanced police robot. As a series of shocking catastrophes unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose mastermind is using cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. To stop this new breed of terrorist, their only hope is to forge a new type of partnership. 

Burn-In is especially chilling because it is something more than a pulse-pounding listen: Every tech, trend, and scene is drawn from real world research on the ways that our politics, our economy, and even our family lives will soon be transformed. Blending a techno-thriller’s excitement with nonfiction’s insight, Singer and Cole illuminate the darkest corners of the world soon to come.

This was a good book. I had to really think about what was going on in this book and how it pertains to the emerging debate on AI currently in the news. Apart from the AI/bot slant (having to make me think), this turned out to be an easy flowing technothriller well presented.

Thought provoking

It is a great story on what the future will look like, especially for the law enforcement. Nicely done.

Great story on what the future will look like...

The core story is an FBI agent pairing with her bot partner, a long learning curve for both. This process is long and full of quasi scientific jargon. Moral: humans must remain in charge. Interleaved is the story of the female agent's home life as devoted mother and increasingly fraught wife. Being a badass spy is all consuming. Preposterous, contrived, and dull.

Book was free of charge and worth it.
