I won this book on librarything.com.
I read 20% of the book and then quit. It is not that the ideas are not interesting but that the writing is so wooden. It reads with utmost clarity and no style whatsoever.

If you make it through the first 100 pages, which are mainly of the lecture type on artificial intelligence (and can, imo, easily be skipped), you will find a rather enjoyable tech-thriller with a twist - who thought that AI units had humour!

Six, by Calvin Brown, is a novel that techies will love. It involves
a nefarious corporation with evil motives and computers that start
thinking for themselves and attack their corporate nemeses with
viruses. The first part of the book is almost devoid of human
interaction, i.e.dialog, but it picks up as the plot is revealed. This is a book
for you if you love the world of IT!

I thought the story was a bit sluggish and I had to convince myself to finish the book. I do want to point out that this rating is for the story and not for the author. I think there is promise for the author so I will keep him in mind.
The story is a bit too much like a parallel to the Planet of the Apes for me. I didn't think it was credible. If you are a tech reader and like the details of networking, this story may be for you.… (altro)
