Book Series: Kill Decision
Author: Daniel Suarez
Daniel Suarez continues his love for studying the bleeding edge of technology with this next book in his collection of thrillers that have yet to disappoint. Before, with his book series Daemon and Freedom, he dipped his toes into all aspects of humanity's extension through techologies tying themselves to the Internet and even to thoughts of the outer edges of the Singularity. Here in Kill Decision, Mr. Suarez leaves the global focus of the web and human communication, and continues through the more dangerous and scary thoughts of directed self directed killing machines.
As the title hints, the book covers the idea of the "kill decision". The question is, who is in control of whether a person lives or dies? In the eyes of where we are, it's in some form of human.... could be a judge, a jury, or even that moment when a soldier is pulling the trigger, fighting for his life. But the book covers the idea of, what if the robots that we have created were given the decision?
Mr. Suarez did his due diligence, once again showing that he always has the pulse of technology under his fingers. And with that knowledge at hand, he weaves a story that scratches an itch within the reader that lingers even after putting the book down.
The swarming technology, the robot technology, the technology brought through this book can really REALLY scare.
