It’s a technothriller, however one with a distinction. Its hero Pic de Lucrète is a dedicated environmentalist/scientist with a mission to save lots of the world from a climate-tipping environmental catastrophe. Saving the world requires Pic and his group to find what comes after AI. What’s going to they uncover? It’s a pressure known as AWE, which stands for Synthetic Knowledge Engine. AWE is a page-turner, however a page-turner with a soul.
One other distinctive facet of AWE is that Pierre suggests musical alternatives for readers to hearken to whereas they’re studying the guide. Once we listened to those alternatives whereas studying, we discovered that the story took on new meanings.
So to assist different readers of AWE discover the guide on that very same deeper stage, we determined to extract and manage a playlist of items as they’re advised within the pages of the guide. And at present, we’re sharing that record with you.
