UNDER THE BLUE - OANA ARISTIDE KARTONIERT (TB)

Metro Best New Books to Read in Spring Pick   Glossary Magazine Highly Anticipated Fiction Pick
A road trip beneath clear blue skies and a blazing sun: a reclusive artist is forced to abandon
his home and follow two young sisters across a post-pandemic Europe in search of a safe place.
Is this the end of the world?  Meanwhile two computer scientists have been educating their baby
in a remote location. Their baby is called Talos  and he is an advanced AI program. Every week
they feed him data  starting from the beginning of written history  era by era  and ask him to
predict what will happen next to the human race. At the same time they're involved in an
increasingly fraught philosophical debate about why human life is sacred and why the purpose
for which he was built - to predict threats to human life to help us avoid them - is a
worthwhile and ethical pursuit.  These two strands come together in a way that is always
suspenseful  surprising and intellectually provocative: this is an extraordinarily prescient
and vital work of fiction - an apocalyptic road novel to frighten and thrill.
