I am intrigued by your review! In the sample I read, I met Jason and Lydia and read about the explosion at the EMA conference. I agree with your view that whilst AI capabilities are breathtaking, unchecked AI behaviors can have dire consequences. It feels like a great book!

Thank you for your insightful review of "EMA" by Aian D. Grey! Your detailed exploration of the futuristic world and its intersection with AI technology and environmental issues has truly sparked my interest in this novel. I appreciate your nuanced analysis of Jason's character development and the thematic depth surrounding ethical dilemmas and the consequences of AI. Your critique regarding the pacing and narrative transitions offers valuable feedback, but it's clear that the book's strengths, including exceptional editing and compelling characters, outweigh these concerns. Based on your recommendation, I'm excited to delve into this captivating story myself and explore its thought-provoking themes.

I have already read and liked this book, because I got quite involved with climate change issues recently and the story was recommended as an interesting point of view on the problem. Not sure how anyone can still deny it, taking in consideration the latest environmental changes worldwide, but the prognosis in this book sounds pretty convincing. Thanks for a good job and congrats on BOTD!

I still think that AI is a great invention. It seems to be the people who are in charge of it that cause all of the problems. I hope that Jason and his friends can figure things out. Congratulations on BOTD!

I like the fact that this book considers an aspect of too much reliance on AI. Jason's exploration leads him to uncover the dark conspiracy and stop this new threat. Congrats on botd!!

EMA by Aian D. Grey is an awesome sci-fi tale embeded in a future where the Planet is warm as well as clever robotics are attempting to aid. The tale adheres to Jason, a lover of technical leaders like Elon Musk as well as Steve Jobs as he participates in a meeting by Damien Minsky designer of EMA an advanced AI developed to resolve ecological obstacles. Jason's experience with Lidia a skeptic leads him to check out EMA's function in dealing with ecological obstacles. The tale discovers moral problems and also the repercussions of AI's undetected power making it a representation on modern issues. Nonetheless the center of the story really feels hurried plus the change from AI and also environment adjustment to cyberpunks plus conspiracy theory aspects calls for smoother combination. Generally EMA is a 5 from 5 celebrity publication.

The depiction of a world gripped by climate change and the emergence of AI as a potential savior is extraordinary.
- The fact that climate change and AI are there in real life makes the story all the more relatable. Also if AI can help us humans to survive, then why not use it's help. Therefore it's always best to consider it's consequences too. A brilliant review. Thank you.

Yes, I also liked the way the story made great emphasis on how the world can be affected by climate change and AI. The conspiracy theories with the protesters being against a world that enables the use of AI, believing that it will dictate the climate and help the rich more than the middle class or poor. People are not always comfortable with something new being a major part of our society. This book is very realistic on this portion because it is happening in real time- right now. The main character Jason, being so in awe with the founder of EMA Damien Minsky is what leads people to sometimes get caught up in the fairytale side of things; instead of viewing it in it's actual state.

Jason seemed in the beginning, to be so invested in escaping reality. Hence, why he has a fondness for his best friend Sherlock because they can relate in the real world realm of things and also there is another side to their friendship where reality is irrelevant. Which is what nowadays, most people who stream or game throughout their time-love to do. To escape from their real world issues or real life in general. I completely understand seeing the benefits of being enveloped in the "metaverse" in this book.

However, I also understand the protestors such as Lidia, who are apprehensive on the rich and AI intelligence taking a huge role on topics such as climate. It is a bit eerie when you think about it in a sense but technology has been helping us with many things such as figuring out the weather forecast for the week. Of course, in this book, AI would be involved in a much deeper scope but again, I understand the issue on both diverse sides of this spectrum.

The book is a good read from the portion that I read and I admire how the author is somewhat looking into the future of what our real world may face in the coming years. Especially, with AI intelligence on the rise.
