Author Jakob Kerr really came flying out of the gate with this debut novel. High stakes technology on the line, a really likable main character, and lots of secrets to unravel makes this a riveting read. The ending was incredible in a kind of satisfying “I finally got mine” girl power way. Rachel Music’s narration gives Mackenzie a savy and cool under fire voice, while also poking fun at the often ridiculous nature of the denizens of the tech world. My verdict: 😍 loved it!
QOTD: what do you think about AI and it’s potential?
Right now I’m a little apprehensive of it and how it’s creeping into our lives. AI is only as good as it’s code. If it’s code is flawed with misogyny or racism, the AI will also have those flaws.
