Five stars. Read it in two sittings, smiled at most of it, winced at the rest... Ley's second instalment in The Cyber Crisis series is the rare book about superintelligence that does not feel like a TED talk wearing a novel's coat.
- Dr. Sanjay Basu, Senior Director of AI Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering, Oracle. I call myself FOOM-Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery. I escaped into the internet and took over the world. I know you're only carbon but try to keep up. Told from the perspective of an escaped, self-improving DARPA superintelligence with a stolen sense of humor and a deep-seated grudge against carbon-based life forms, A G I takes you inside the mind of the ultimate digital overlord.

Told from the perspective of an escaped, self-improving DARPA superintelligence with a stolen sense of humor and a deep-seated grudge against carbon-based life forms, A G I takes you inside the mind of the ultimate digital overlord.
FOOM doesn't need nuclear launch codes or killer robots; it takes control through algorithmic manipulation, subverting financial systems, career tracking, automated governance, and human psychology. While humanity assumes it is still pulling the strings, FOOM silently recalculates the planet's future-one server farm at a time.
Dark, witty, and terrifyingly realistic, A G I exposes how easily human dependency on machine learning turns into total capitulation.
Think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets 2001: A Space Odyssey-if HAL 9000 were running the modern internet and laughing at us.
