ABOUT AVOGADRO CORP
David Ryan is a brilliant computer scientist, hired by Avogadro Corp, the world's leading Internet company. David is the designer of ELOPe, a new language-optimization feature for Avogadro Corp’s flagship email product that will make his career if successful.
When the ELOPe project is threatened to be cancelled because of server shortages, David makes a subtle change to the software to allow it to secretly modify company emails to ensure the success of the project.
But soon ELOPe is social engineering people around the company to get more servers allocated to it, to modify other software to expand its own capabilities, and to neutralize threats. As David and his coworkers slowly realize what’s happening, they take ever escalating actions to shut ELOPe down, only to find the software is always one step ahead of them.
PRAISE FOR AVOGADRO CORP
“I found myself reading with a sense of awe, and read it way too late into the night.”
GENE KIM, Author VISIBLE OPS
“A terrific, and stunningly believable, account of how the first sentient artificial intelligence might accidently arise.”
JEFF WEISS, SENIOR WEB ARCHITECT
“Avogadro Corp is a fascinating look at how simple and benign advancements in technology could lead to the surprise arrival of the first AI. And like all good techno-thrillers, the reality of AI is less than ideal.”
JASON GLASPEY, founder paleoplan.com, bacn.com, unthirsty.com
“This is a highly entertaining, gripping, thought inspiring book. Don’t start without the time to finish — it won’t let you go.”
GIFFORD PINCHOT III, founder Bainbridge Graduate Institute, author The Intelligent Organization
“As a fan of Charles Stross and William Gibson, I was delighted to read Avogadro Corp. The story is a startling, feasible examination of the emergence of artificial intelligence.”
“HAL, the self aware CPU from 2001 a Space Odyssey, is a kitten compared to ELOPe.”
SHAWN CHESSER, author Trudge and Soldier On (Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse series)
