Some books stand out because they take us on exciting journeys filled with big ideas and important questions. EMA by Aian D. Grey is one such book. It happens in a future where the Earth is hot and there are smart robots trying to help.
 
The story unfolds in the summer of 2084, a world plagued by relentless heatwaves due to climate change. It follows the journey of Jason, an admirer of technological pioneers like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, who attends a conference by billionaire Damien Minsky, the creator of EMA, a sophisticated AI designed to address the environmental crisis. Jason's encounter with Lidia, a skeptic of Minsky's AI, leads him to a deeper exploration of EMA and its role in combating environmental challenges. As the plot thickens, a series of events, including a mysterious explosion and cyberattacks, reveal a dark conspiracy involving EMA. Jason, Lidia, and others must work together to stop whatever threat there is to the world.
 
I love how the environments in the book were created. The depiction of a world gripped by climate change and the emergence of AI as a potential savior is extraordinary. Jason's evolution from a starry-eyed admirer of technological innovators to a critical thinker willing to question the consequences of AI showcases the author’s superb thinking. Lidia's skepticism and her association with Möbius add thrills to the story. The story's exploration of ethical dilemmas and the consequences of AI's unchecked power is commendable. It allowed me to ponder the role of technology in addressing environmental issues and the potential risks associated with placing too much faith in AI solutions. This thematic depth elevates the narrative, making it more than just a science fiction story but a reflection on contemporary concerns.
 
I did not like how the middle of the storyline of the book felt rushed. Additionally, the story's transition back and forth from the initial focus on AI and climate change to the introduction of cyberattacks and conspiracy elements, while intriguing, required a smoother integration to maintain coherence.
 
EMA by Aian D. Grey was exceptionally edited. I did not find any errors. I loved the characters in the book and also the way the book talked about environmental issues, so I am rating it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this story to readers who enjoy science fiction with a focus on environmental issues and advanced technology.

Your review of 'EMA' by Aian D. Grey beautifully encapsulates the intriguing and thought-provoking nature of this futuristic tale. It's a compelling narrative set in a not-so-distant future, grappling with pressing issues like climate change and advanced artificial intelligence. The vivid description of the storyline and its characters immediately drew me in, especially Jason's journey and his exploration of EMA, a promising but enigmatic AI. The clash of perspectives between Jason and Lidia adds depth to the narrative, and the mysterious events and conspiracy elements promise an exhilarating plot. I can't wait to dive into this captivating journey of big ideas and important questions. Thank you for sharing your insights on such an exciting book!"

Climate change and artificial intelligence are themes important today, so I can only imagine how important they'll be 60 years in the future. That makes me intrigued about this novel. Thank you for your great review!

The infusion of AI into resolving environmental issues is intriguing. It gives a fair share of what to expect in our world as AI is programmed to do more each day. This review is great, and congratulations to the author for such a masterpiece.

We are slowly heading into a world controlled by AI and they will soon dominate the world. Climate change is also inevitable and it has been a concern by many for many years now. 2084 is far but we shall soon reach that year and such a futuristic book is giving us ideas of what will happen in those years. I would love to read this book to know what happens in 2084 as told by the author. Congratulations on making the book of the day

We meet Jason, an enthusiastic proponent of leaders in this new Ai society. Metaverse is computerised way of ‘taking a break from reality’ where everything is possible. This book is a scary and very real delve into our future.

I like it when books draw attention to environmental issues as long as the issues themselves are not described in a science-fiction way. It is very real. I fail to see how AI can help with the issues and a threat against the world. I am sure the author will surprise me with his ideas on this.

I am sure I will not be around to witness EMA's environmental corrections. We are currently experiencing super hot days in the Philippines. So I can imagine what might happen if we fail to address our environmental issues.
