Loading... The Phoenix Codeby Catherine Asaro
A re-working of a staple inSciFi - an escaped android. Megan is working on the development of an AI android, which subsequently escapes. When she and a colleague are kidnapped by the android, they have to work fast to socialize it. What makes this worthwhile is a nice romantic element to support the plot. Though not very original, it is never-the-less a real page turner with an exciting conclusion. The book made me want to read more from the author. (  ) jshillingford | Aug 8, 2011 |  The initial challenge of shepherding a budding artificial intelligence project to fruition turns deadly for coding expert Megan O'Flannery. In an isolated lab in the Nevada desert she and fellow robotics genius Raj attempt to diagnose and correct Aris's glitches and expand his grasp of what being human means. As Raj and Megan's relationship deepens, Aris begins to exhibit signs of jealousy, but as dangerous as a love-struck android may be, something worse is waiting in the wings that will test the resolution and humanity of all three and perhaps change the world as they know it forever. Reminiscent in many respect of Asaro's Sunrise Alley, she again tackles the question of exactly what makes us human - and what humanity will do when we're no longer the only intelligent life out there. Not completely satisfying, but pleasantly resolved. (  ) SunnySD | Jan 1, 2011 | no reviews | add a review
