Reviews for Playing with Death

This fast, furious, twisty thriller kept me on the edge of my seat What starts as a gripping killer thriller morphs into a serious and frankly scary examination of the possible threats the development of AI poses for humanity - Irish Independent If Stephen King had collaborated with Michael Crichton on a thriller, it might have been as good as this.
