Review of What Do You Think, Mr. Collins?
[Following is a volunteer review of "What Do You Think, Mr. Collins?" by Neal Bialostosky.]
What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? by Neal Bialostosky explores the intersection of technological advancement and human emotion through the lives of Sidney Maddow and Ben Collins. Sidney, the CEO of Personal Androids Incorporated, is about to make a quantum computing breakthrough that could reshape humanity's future. He is excited about the potential of a 666-qubit processor, envisioning a world transformed by clean energy, advanced medicine, and possibly the eradication of disease. Sidney's narrative is one that is filled with ambition and the thrill of discovery as he navigates the challenges of innovation.
Conversely, Ben Collins, a computer network manager, has a more skeptical view of the technology's rapid advancements. Assigned to work with Marge Mathers on a new project, Ben struggles with the implications of the AI developments. He expresses obvious discomfort with the pervasive influence of AI in daily life, questioning the ethical and societal impacts of such advanced technologies. Ben's storyline provides a counterbalance to Sidney's optimism, highlighting the potential downsides and moral dilemmas associated with AI.
I like many aspects of this book. The novel excels in its character development, especially in its portrayal of Sidney Maddow's visionary outlook. His enthusiasm for quantum computing and its possibilities is infectious, drawing readers into the narrative with vivid descriptions of technological wonder. Sidney's character embodies a spirit of innovation and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. Ben Collins' perspective adds depth to the story by presenting a more cautious view of technological progress. His skepticism and concerns about AI resonate with readers who share similar fears about the ethical implications of such advancements. The interplay between Sidney's optimism and Ben's caution creates a balanced narrative that encourages reflection on the role of technology in society.
I don't dislike any aspect of this book. The book's engaging characters and exploration of complex themes make it a compelling choice for readers interested in the ethical and societal implications of technological advancement. I didn't notice any errors while reading this book, which shows that it was exceptionally well-edited.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for the reasons I mentioned above. I recommend this book for those who enjoy stories that challenge conventional perspectives and provoke thoughtful consideration of the future.
