A glimpse of a future that may be right around the corner.
Tech thriller Catch-42 offers a mind-blowing tour of potential uses for AI, biotech, quantum computing, and robotics, all within a suspense-filled story packed with unexpected twists.
Dan is an ordinary guy, scrambling to make a living, who has the most extraordinary dream. A mysterious voice from the future asks for his help. He finds himself transported to a technological wonderland where everyone’s dreams can come true. Could this be nirvana, a peaceful and clear state of mind, or is this life destroying the one thing that makes us human? Whose vision of the future should Dan believe: that of the New World Order of WeYou, or the revolution of an underground movement called Teccupy?
Before Dan can make his choice, he must learn how we got from here to there. We are with Dan at every moment as he is forced to choose sides and think the unthinkable, make the impossible possible, and turn a hopeless situation into a solvable problem in his search for the ultimate catch-42.
Brimming with current scientific findings, Catch-42 is a novel like no other that raises fundamental and philosophical questions whose answers depend on us all.
My thoughts
As the world shifts, I find myself being interested in books that extend beyond my normal selections. I have kept myself limited personally, professionally, and mentally by adopting this behavior. This was a nice escape for my "norm"!
I am a part of the generation who remembers days before we had technology at our fingertips every second of the day. It was a really BIG deal for us to play The Oregon Trail. I never imagined how fast technology would grow and change our lives - much less take over!
As you dive into Catch-42, you will discover Dan, an everyday guy who gets a glimpse at the future and how artificial intelligence (AI) plays a role in that future. Although currently fiction, it's not so far-fetched that it couldn't become reality soon, rather than later.
I enjoyed a look at how the technology we use and live with today could transform our world. Some parts I had to read a few times to get a good grasp on the concept, however, it was overall, thought-provoking and a unique read.
