Wow, Francis, this is an awesome review. Thanks for being so thorough. This style of dystopian fiction, especially with AI characters is becoming increasingly popular and the idea of putting AI into an actual brain is a novel concept. I'm looking forward to reading this book.

This is a novel about a man who invents an AI to make organs. He creates heart and tries to protect it from bad people. Looks like an interesting plot.

I like how the title is a play on words between Brian and Brain. AI is definitely becoming increasingly used, so this book is very relevant. Congratulations on book of the day!

I'm not fond of sci-fi novels, so I'll give this a skip. I'm sure that for the right readers this will be one fascinating book. Thanks for a detailed review.

With the increasing popularity AI has been having, I cannot find this book extremely exciting. This type of topic often are controversial, as we see in the characters, everyone has a different motivation, and their believes will sign with that.

An interesting science fiction novel that is focused on Artificial Intelligence. A topic that is becoming more relevant in the recent years.

Your first line reminds me of Jean-Leon Gerome's Pygmalion and Galatea. I like the concept especially the idea of modern or advanced technology is fascinating and at the same time quite scary as we have less idea of where it will take us in many years before us.

This sounds absolutely fantastic. Even from your short review, you can garner there are many controversial subjects included in the book and recognize it will challenge your way of thinking and your definition of life. Thank you for a great review! I am definitely adding this to my TBR pile :)

The idea of creating a brain without a body sounds intriguing. It has medical, scientific, ethical, and perhaps even political ramifications. I’m especially interested in seeing how the different members of the team that creates Brian treat him. Thank you for the helpful review.

Man made brain? Honestly it was a bit difficult to imagine. But as the review implies it works in the story. The character with AI brain was well loved by their creator. It seems interesting but still i would skip the developing brain part chapter. 😆😁😄 thanks for the review

A science fiction with a unique theme of Artificial Intelligence. Inventions and specifically smart inventions are always dear to their creator. I would like to give this one a read and find more about ‘Brian’. Thanks for the review!

This book has a very unique name and that is what got me interested. I will read "Brian, Created Intelligence" by AJ Pagan IV to know if Jonathan Volt succeeded in taking over Project Redeye.

This story reminds me of Eve & Adam, as well as Isaac Asimov's I, Robot. It's no uncommon for some scientists to be compassionate towards AI, especially when they act like humans. Brian is like EDI from the movie Stealth. I wonder how the events will turn out for him. Congratulations on the BOTD.
