About this listen

Meet Emily - she can solve advanced mathematical problems, unlock the mind's deepest secrets and even fix your truck's air con. But, unfortunately, she can't restart the sun.

She's an artificial consciousness, designed in a lab to help humans process trauma, which is particularly helpful when the sun begins to die five billion years before scientists agreed it was supposed to.

So, her beloved human race is screwed, and so is Emily. That is, until she finds a potential answer buried deep in the human genome. But before her solution can be tested, her lab is brutally attacked, and Emily is forced to go on the run with two human companions - college student Jason and small-town Sheriff Mayra.

As the sun's death draws near, Emily and her friends must race against time to save humanity. But before long it becomes clear that it's not only the species at stake but also that which makes us most human.

Great start, stereotypical ending

I absolutely loved the first half of this book - it broke the regular tropes of AI related sci-fi to give something fresh and interesting with twists that kept you on the edge of your seat. I also appreciated that while the science wasn’t always accurate, it was believable.

The second half of the book seemed to flip all of this on its head, reverting back to exactly the storyline you’d expect of an AI related book. It turned predictable and the science far-fetched. For such an amazing start I was sorely disappointed with the ending.
