Neal Bialostosky's What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? thrusts readers into a mesmerizing world where the convergence of artificial intelligence and humanity unfolds amidst the vibrant tapestry of Paradise City. With a narrative that intertwines elements of satire, political intrigue, and speculative fiction, Bialostosky offers a fresh perspective on the genre.

Through a diverse cast of characters, including the introspective Ben Collins and the visionary AI architect Sydney Maddow, Bialostosky paints a nuanced portrait of a society grappling with the consequences of technological advancement. Against the backdrop of a city teetering on the brink of chaos, mayoral candidates Teresa Vasquez and Gregory Lind engage in a high-stakes battle for power, while figures like Evelyn Broadwell and Dr. Norman Hippleton navigate the ethical complexities of a world where AI threatens to disrupt the status quo.

As the narrative unfolds, themes of societal unrest, ethical dilemmas, and the pursuit of power converge, inviting readers to ponder the implications of a future shaped by artificial intelligence. Bialostosky's masterful storytelling delves deep into the human psyche, prompting reflection on the nature of progress and the fragility of the human experience.

With its richly imagined setting and compelling characters, this novel is sure to captivate readers and leave them eagerly anticipating the next installment in this thought-provoking series.

I would say this book was a masterpiece, as I found no typos or grammar errors throughout my read, so I enjoyed reading it, and I had no dislike for it at all. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it met my expectations and standards. I recommend this book to readers seeking a thought-provoking blend of sci-fi and social commentary. Set in Paradise City, it navigates the collision of AI and humanity with satirical flair, offering a fresh take on the genre's tropes. Neal Bialostosky's narrative captivates from start to finish.
