G's Story is about the first machine with Artificial Intelligence to pass the 'Turing Test' and win the Gold Medal Prize at the Loebner Prize Contest.G is an android who possesses what is known in humans as the 'general intelligence factor' or the ability to exhibit high level intelligence across all subject matter. G is sentient and self-aware and can think like a human. He was created by Julian Thornway, a genius and the great grandfather of 12 year old Timothy Thornway.Timothy lives in Algonquin, Illinois, which is a small town northwest of Chicago on the Fox River. Julian asks Timothy to spend two weeks with him in Michigan by the lake to help him prepare G for the Loebner Prize. The contest is being held in Chicago at Navy Pier and people are already protesting the event. The Turing Test is a game in which a machine and a human are questioned by a judge who tries to determine which of them is the machine. The objective of the machine is to fool the judge.Julian thinks he can win the $1,000,000 Gold Medal Prize and prove to the world that G is the first machine with artificial intelligence that can think and reason like a human. G, on the other hand, must prove to everyone that he should be accepted by society and not be banned from existence. The future of humanity may depend on it.In Part 2, sixteen years have passed. Timothy Thornway is now thirty years old and also becomes an astronaut for NASA.G was sent into space to explore the nearest star systems and find exoplanets in the habitable zone capable of supporting human life. The second mission was to search for other intelligent life in the universe.
