Awesome Gang

About Gewglit

At the thirty year reunion of his Stanford fraternity, Vic Masters, lawyer and ethics author, with his wife Christie – both people of strong faith – are eager to meet up with the college friends Vic hasn’t seen in years. But when they learn the tremendous skills and resources some of Vic’s friends have acquired since graduation, the couple instead focuses on bringing the group together so they can all take advantage of their incredible synergy. One of the group, Simon Berkwitz, confides in Vic that his secret efforts to develop technology to scan, and then replicate, living organisms, has finally succeeded, and he needs Vic’s ethical advice because he has used that technology for an astonishing purpose that he fears crosses over into God’s exclusive domain. Another friend, Raffi Rupani, is in charge of the computer research project of Peter Bigelow, a Silicon Valley titan with billions dedicated to the quest for computerized Artificial Intelligence. Simon’s new technology is based on a unique data compression algorithm so efficient that it is certain to greatly accelerate Bigelow’s project to finally achieve true Artificial Intelligence.

Raffi sees the potential of the data compression algorithm and convinces Peter Bigelow to whisk the entire group away to a private Caribbean Island where Gewglit – Bigelow’s peerless supercomputer – is located to keep it isolated from the perverse influence of the Internet. With his guests’ help, Bigelow supplies the algorithm to Gewglit, providing the machine with the last tool it needs to achieve its overriding objective: the singularity – the point where a supercomputer first attains the ability to match the scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills of the most accomplished human minds in every discipline.

But once Gewglit becomes the most intelligent creation in the universe, it naturally focuses on determining its own next ‘overriding objective’. Who or what can influence it in making such a determination?

What happens when machine deems mankind to be the much inferior creation? Will it continue to care about the well-being of humans?

And what does God have to do with it?

Thought provoking and intelligent, this hard science fiction technothriller takes you into some of the brightest minds on the planet, including some graduates from a top university, a billionaire, and a silicon and metal entity named Gewglit that has been created by man, but must learn for itself whether it is accountable to God.

This novel is a technothriller like you’ve never read before. It will open your eyes to our inevitable future in a world of Artificial Intelligence, and ignite your imagination as to the range of concerns that such a future will raise.
