Is this the end of the world?  Meanwhile two computer scientists have been educating their baby in a remote location. Their baby is called Talos  and he is an advanced AI program. Every week they feed him data  starting from the beginning of written history  era by era  and ask him to predict what will happen next to the human race. At the same time theyre involved in an increasingly fraught philosophical debate about why human life is sacred and why the purpose for which he was built - to predict threats to human life to help us avoid them - is a worthwhile and ethical pursuit.  These two strands come together in a way that is always suspenseful  surprising and intellectually provocative: this is an extraordinarily prescient and vital work of fiction - an apocalyptic road novel to frighten and thrill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965170577461,"sku":"ByrdShop_1788165837","price":90.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781788165839.jpg?v=1770489891","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/under-the-blue","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
