Artificial Wisdom is a genre-defying technothriller that explores a near-future world in which AI shapes global politics, forcing humanity to confront the ethical costs of survival in a climate-ravaged landscape.

The most surprising thriller of the year.

Who would you trust with the future?

The year is 2050. In the teeth of a climate catastrophe, the world is left with a drastic solution- one global leader to steer it through the coming apocalypse.

The final two candidates are ex-US President Lockwood, and Solomon, the world's first political artificial intelligence.

As whispers of a global conspiracy emerge, investigative journalist Marcus Tully find himself at the centre of it - when Solomon's creator turns up murdered.

Overnight, one investigation becomes two, and it's not just the result of the election that's at stake but the future of the species. Suddenly humanity must make an impossible choice - between salvation, or freedom.

Thomas R. Weaver writes stories about tomorrow to help make sense of today. A tech entrepreneur turned author, he holds a degree in Computer Science but never expected to actually use it in his career. After spending years exploring how technology could transform experiences in the places outside of the home and the office, he founded a tech startup in the restaurant hospitality space, which was later acquired by Just Eat Takeaway. Exiting in 2018-2019 left him with no more excuses not to pursue a long-held dream- writing fiction. Despite vowing he had enough grey hair already and he'd never to run another startup, he continues to build a portfolio of interesting new ideas with his former cofounder, backed by a major Silicon Valley tech accelerator. Outside of spending time with his family, he loves to cook, draw, paint and lose at online bullet chess. He loves a great movie or TV series, and collects more books than time allows to read.

Reviews for Artificial Wisdom
