Highly Anticipated Fiction Pick A road trip beneath clear blue
skies and a blazing sun: a reclusive artist is forced to abandon
his home and follow two young sisters across a post-pandemic Europe
in search of a safe place. Is this the end of the world? Meanwhile
two computer scientists have been educating their baby in a remote
location. Their baby is called Talos, and he is an advanced AI
program. Every week they feed him data, starting from the beginning
of written history, era by era, and ask him to predict what will
happen next to the human race. At the same time they're involved in
an increasingly fraught philosophical debate about why human life
is sacred and why the purpose for which he was built - to predict
threats to human life to help us avoid them - is a worthwhile and
ethical pursuit. These two strands come together in a way that is
always suspenseful, surprising and intellectually provocative: this
is an extraordinarily prescient and vital work of fiction - an
apocalyptic road novel to frighten and thrill.
