The review of AJ Pagan IV's book "Brian, Created Intelligence" is both straightforward and compelling. I appreciate how the reviewer highlights the distinctive traits of the characters and manages to condense the key aspects of the book into a concise review. The openness of the review is what draws me in, and I can't overstate how impressive it is to have such a clear and concise review of such a complex book. Overall, it's a great review.

A biology and AI based science fiction book "Brian, Created Intelligence" by AJ Pagan IV, which follows Project Redeye, the mission of which is to create an organ using AI. I think that this book is entertaining to read.

Creating a brain, naming and training it, and treating it as your own child sounds a scary scenario to me. And then this brain named Brian needs to be saved from manipulators? I like that the characters are well-developed and lovable, but I am allergic to AI. Anyway, thank you for this amazing review!

Your review was incredibly well-written and heightened my interest in reading the book. I enjoyed the storyline about the artificially developed human brain and how it might get into the wrong hands and cause devastating consequences. I felt a little lost in the beginning pages. Maybe it gets interesting in the later part. But I will skip this book. Congrats on the BOTD, though!

While I do love reading all manners of Science Fiction, the subject of artificial intelligence is unlucky exception from the rule. I don't like to sound hypocritical, considering that I am not a religious person, but in my opinion any creation requires divine spark. Apologies, I will pass the book, but still congratulations on BOTD!

I wonder Brian, the human brain without a body, fares in this novel.

Thank you for the great review.

I was struck by your clear emotional connection to the characters and plot of "Brian, Created Intelligence" by AJ Pagan IV. Your love for Dr. Ellie Parsons and dislike for Jonathan Volt showed how invested you were in the story. I appreciated your recommendation for the book to AI programmers, biology students, and sci-fi enthusiasts, as it gave me a good sense of the book's target audience, which includes myself. However, while the review provided a positive evaluation of the book's storytelling and simplistic writing approach, my personal preference leans towards books that utilize a more intricate and elaborate use of the English language.

Although today's BOTD isn't the one for me, fans of scifi, biology, and AI will enjoy it. The characters are very well-developed and the storyline is thought-provoking. Thank you for the helpful review and keep up the great work!! :-)

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction story focusing on a group of scientists that create a brain without a body but the powers that be want control of this new intelligence. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I appreciate the evolution of technology up until today. However, with the rise of AI humans in a society where individuals thirst for power and control, man's creation is going to destroy him one day. I already like the Brian AI character from this review. The crime and mystery involved also make this book a great read.

"Brian, Created Intelligence" by AJ Pagan IV is a book centered around Project Redeye. The priority goal of this mission was to create a human brain without a body. The dialogues in the book are excellently and realistically written.

AI is a very popular subject at the moment, so this book is very timely. I have no doubt that in the future, we can create and train something like a human brain.

Great review! I am sure I would also love Brian and shed tears. I have read a few pages and got caught in the story, which means it is well-written sci-fi.

Humans will always try to mimic their creation. I wonder if we would ever go there. This sounds interesting.
