Visiting Oxford University, the president of the United States was asked a simple question: “If NASA advised that, right now, a superior alien race is speeding towards Earth, and will arrive within a few decades, what would you do?” The president gave a compelling answer: “Given our own history we should hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” When the student posed his next question the entire auditorium went dead silent. “What if I told you that the superior race won’t come from outer space. What if I told you it will originate here, that we will build it. How will you prepare for that?” The president didn’t have an answer. No one did. Although most people in the Western world believed humans would eventually invent an Artificial Super Intelligence, they had never stopped to think what that really meant. What the president did next is truly shocking. It would change the world forever. DANGEROUS BRAINS is a thought-provoking techno-thriller in the blockbuster tradition of the Andromeda Strain. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish.
