Artificial WisdomArtificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A decent mystery with some SF elements. Of course, living in the world we are in now, with AIs everywhere, the SFnal aspect is sliding heavily into natural realism.

Either way, we're getting into investigative journalism, murder, politics, a tiny bit of ethical consideration, and a heaping handful of judgement on ourselves. And to be entirely fair, that judgement is WELL deserved.

We never learn. Whether the wisdom is natural, artificial, or entirely contrived out of whole cloth, we never learn.

My synesthesia smells champagne and plastic. Why plastic? The synthesis, my dear. The synthesis.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

Trouble on Paradise by Craig Alanson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Honestly? It was an okay mil-SF from the PoV of those left behind on Paradis...
