Author S.B. Divya was an AI and data science engineer for over two decades. Her early cutting edge research on algorithms—and being a woman in STEM in the early 90s—has heavily informed her debut novel Machinehood. This technothriller is as prescient as Neuromancer and as current as Bad Blood, sharply critiquing capitalism, Big Pharma, and human exceptionalism. It tells the story of a terror group that gains power amid a turbulent conflict between human and AI workers. Ray Kurzweil called the book “ingenious, thought-provoking and hopeful,” and a starred PW review says simply, “Readers will be blown away.” Looking for even more books about artificial intelligence and robots?
