I read by mood. Mostly sci-fi and fantasy, with self-help when I need to feel useful. Otherwise: building things, on a mountain bike, or learning a song on guitar.

The author does a fantastic job explaining the key players throughout the time and weaves a compelling story of why AI can be the best and worst technology we have developed. The book doesn't get into the weeds of the technology but gives just enough information that anyone can follow along with the narrative.
I really enjoyed The Secret of Secrets. It dives into the idea of consciousness in a way that keeps you thinking while still giving you that classic Dan Brown pace and suspense. The mix of science, mystery, and philosophy works well and kept me hooked.
It feels like what you’d expect from Dan Brown, in a good way. If you’ve liked his other books, you’ll like this one too. It’s smart, fun to read, and leaves you with a lot to think about after you finish.
