Runciman tries to work a large amount of information into a tight book. He charts a unique comparison of the 'intelligence' function of states, corporations, and the implications of AI. Much of what he says is an argument against the ideas of centralized 'intelligence.' He discusses in some detail the implication on copyright and intellectual property from AI and mostly frames the deleterious effects of AI usage and development from a left-wing lens.

Excellent book with great plot and characters.

This book has creepy details like a mad scientist who takes children's lives, but the art makes it a little playful as well. Has you wanting to read the second book!

This book is amazing. So many mood swings. I love it!

funny

This book has great vocabulary and shared insights to the world about life as a minority. It displays a coming of age theme which revolves around Starr, the ferocious main character of this novel. I would definitely recommend!

I actually read 8-10, and the hour cont is a rough guess.

Fantastically written, pulse quickening, Mo Hayder can write a book that leaves you thinking about it for many years to come

This is such a good book, especially for people that like people having powers and the good people not winning all the time. Although they are technically in the lead, Sophie and her friends don't think so. Sophie is the main character, and she has SO MUCH friends who care for her. Then one of her friends - Keefe - leaves for the Forbidden Cities and his mom (a bad character) is trying to do an experiment on him called Stellarlune, so Sophie and her friends try searching for a power source called Elysian, and at the end of the book, they find out who/what Elysian is, and it is a humongous cliff hanger!

This is my favorite book. It is the best book in the whole world. We read it every night.
