4.0
A thrilling read. A fascinating look at the risks of modern technology, but very much retaining a human heart. The ethics of AI, celebrity culture and the voyeuristic and judgemental tendencies of social media all get an airing in this book.
Driverless cars are now the norm, but technology is vulnerable and as The Hacker holds eight passengers hostage in separate cars. Their lives are under scrutiny and their dark secrets revealed as the public and a small jury are asked to decide who should die and who deserves to live.
Compelling reading and kept me gripped right to the end. Recommended read.
