Inhaltsangabe
Salvation Has a Price.
An enthralling murder mystery with a vividly realised future world, forcing listeners to grapple hard hitting questions about the climate crisis, our relationship with Artificial Intelligence and the price we would be willing to pay, as a species, to be saved. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Neal Stephenson, Philip K Dick, Kim Stanley Robinson and RR Haywood, or those that loved Steven Pacey's narration of Joe Abercrombie's First Law series.
It's 2050, a decade after a heatwave that killed 400 million across the Persian Gulf, including journalist Marcus Tully's wife. Now he must uncover the truth: Was the disaster natural? Or is the weather now a weapon of genocide?
A whistleblower pulls Tully into a murder investigation at the centre of an election battle for a global dictator, with a mandate to prevent a climate apocalypse. A former US President campaigns against the first AI politician of the position, but someone is trying to sway the outcome.
Tully must convince the world to face the truth and make hard choices about the future of the species. But will humanity ultimately choose salvation over freedom, whatever the cost?

Rent free in my mind for months to come!
OMG what just happened!!!! The last few chapters were so fast paced, with so many information.
The ending left my brain SPINNING.
The story kept me guessing the whole time. I had lots of theories during the book, and none of them turned out to be true. Perfect ending, this is going to live in my mind rent free for the upcoming month, years even!!
This is an amazing book about truth, bias, manipulation and AI. What do we really see around us, in the time of AI: is it the truth? If you think yes, then how sure can you be? What does it take to manipulate a people and how easy is it? If we cannot save ourselves, can we trust an AI to save the world for us? Can we even comprehend today, how would that look like?
So many thoughts in my mind!!!!!
The narration was also on spot!! Very suspenseful and thrilling. It was amazing! Great work, thank you!!!

I don’t like scifi, but I have to say, I'm blown away.
First off, this book is seriously spooky. The way Weaver envisions a future where AI is almost in control? It feels like it's just around the corner, and that's what makes it so terrifying. It's set in 2050, and everything he describes seems totally plausible. It's thrilling and unsettling at the same time.
Weaver nails the technical details. The climate crisis he depicts feels so real it made me anxious. The political fallout from the disinformation era? Chilling. And the tech—it's both fascinating and scary because it all feels possible. The surveillance and security systems he describes are pure genius.
But it’s not just the tech. The story is full of ambiguity and moral dilemmas that really make you think. And the characters are fantastic. They're flawed, raw, and super relatable. There's a subplot involving alcoholism, homelessness, grief, paranoia, surveillance, and propaganda that adds so much depth. These characters are messed up in the best ways, and you can't help but root for them.
Even as a fantasy fan who loves detailed magic systems, I was impressed by Weaver's grounded tech. The floating states, pod transportation, neural reality, ego spaces, and virtual public events are so well thought out and seamlessly integrated into the plot. It’s like you can really see this being our future.
In short, if you're looking for a sci-fi read that's going to make you think, freak you out, and keep you hooked, grab "Artificial Wisdom." You won’t regret it. Trust me.
