Produktbeschreibung
Dr. Charles Eckert has devoted his life to the promise of artificial general intelligence, but he's convinced big tech's approach is reckless. Foreseeing possible outcomes even worse than annihilation, the MIT professor stakes his career and hope for humanity on a longshot mission to beat tech's automatons with something truly revolutionary. SIA chronicles Eckert's creation of a quantum supercomputer - Synthetic Intelligent Agent - capable of empathizing with the human condition. By providing a unique perspective on our deepest human dilemmas, can SIA ensure a future where humans and AI thrive together?

Failing to secure funding, the Doctor sinks into despair and the pitiful solace of alcohol. Then Russell, a gay playboy and Google executive, promises to find the money on the condition his evolutionary self-improvement algorithm be incorporated to accelerate the computer's development - and perhaps achieve Singularity. Eckert is terrified of an AI developing too rapidly to control, but he's out of options. Meanwhile, an HIV-positive Evangelical hacker named Isaiah has a revelation that the Beast of Revelations is an AGI. He begins building a covert army to rescue humanity's soul from the idolatry of mind, even if it takes living - and dying - by the sword.

A diverse cast of characters grapples with the implications of superintelligence in everything from politics to relationships - a revolution that could tear an already flailing country to bits and bytes. SIA examines the false promises of technology and the contradictions of our age. These lenses provoke a contemplation of human nature, ideology, mythology, and the substance of thought and being.
