The ere was not one likable character in this book and it could have been half the length. Too many unnecessary details. But the story underneath was good.

Interesting and unusual
Review from Culpability →
Characters were well developed and plot was interesting. Action was not the normal fare – might be for the slightly wonky.
I appreciated the author’s attempt at trying to explain OCD, but I feel he missed the mark. OCD is VERY, VERY RARELY making things neat or organizing. That is a type-a personality. OCD is a mental condition where a person gets trapped in repetitive, intrusive thoughts they cannot shut off, and they feel forced to..
Timely and timeless.

I found the book’s exploration of emerging AI technology relevant to our times, while its portrayal of familial and societal relationships was richly developed, compelling, and deeply authentic.

I’ve read the James Reese and Mitch Rapp series of books – they are military thrillers but have some level of authenticity and belief. This book has neither. One guy saving the world from chaos and the US president’s actions are too much for me to swallow. The voice over is a little too happy..
Eye opening

Thought Provoking and Raw
Review from Culpability →
My first reaction after listening to the too long ending was that it was not a 4 star listen. However, after much thought 24 hours later I think it is still pretty intriguing. Not a 5 star because I thought it was probably an hour to an hour and half too long. I disagree with..
